Established in 1973, the US Coast Guard Historic District is an example of federal maritime architecture reflecting 113 years of the national commitment to safeguarding America’s coastline. It was originally built by the US Life Saving Service, which merged with the Revenue Cutter Service in 1915 to form the US Coast Guard. Its six remaining historic structures were transferred to the National Park Service for preservation: the boathouse, quarters, plotting station, garage, signal tower, and lighthouse.
