Crew Quarters

In 1952, the Coast Guard authorized construction of a Crew Quarters to house two men who helped care for the light station. Built with surplus barracks pieces from another station, the small wood-frame building included a kitchen, bunk room, and living area, and it served crewmembers who worked rotating 8 hour shifts tending the light. After 2000, when Points NE Historical Society partnered with Metro Parks Tacoma, the building was renovated into the society’s History Research Center. Today volunteers there collect and exhibit old records, stories, and artifacts, while the society supports preservation, educates children and adults, and sponsors community events.
