Description
This detail of the long mural on the west wall of the hallway of the Cornelius Tarbox House is viewed from the north end of the hall. Pictured prominently is a lighthouse standing on a high head of land. The tower of the lighthouse is built with ashlar blocks of light gray stone, as is the keeper’s cottage. A curl of smoke issues from the chimney.
The murals run up the stairwell, ending in a canopy of sky on the second floor.
