The front page has nearly a full column with considerable detail on building what is now known as the Whitehead Lighthouse in Maine, headed: "Plan of a Light-House and Dwelling House for the Keeper of it, to be erected oat White-Head, District of Maine, near the Muscle Ridges, at the mouth of the Penobscot River, in the State of Massachusetts." Remember that Maine did not become a state until 1820.
Four pages, a 3 1/2 by 3 3/4 in. piece is clipped from the lower right corner, otherwise nice condition.
