About Wallace Harbour Range Rear Lighthouse
Also known as: Wallace Harbour Range Rear (relocated)
This 14-meter-high, square pyramidal wood tower, painted white with a red lantern roof, was constructed in 1904 and is connected to a small service building. Originally functioning as the rear marker for a range guiding vessels into Wallace Harbour, its operation ceased in 1990 due to encroaching trees. The structure was sold in 1994 and moved to its present location near Malagash Point in 1995. It has since been repurposed as a summer dwelling.
Why it matters: This structure originally provided a main alignment reference for vessels entering Wallace Harbour. Its relocation and conversion demonstrate changes in maritime navigation and land usage.
