Portland Breakwater Light, better known as #BugLight, South Portland- Maine. A wooden #lighthouse was first built at this spot in 1855 and was replaced by the current cast iron structure in 1875. The #greekrevial decor cleverly hides welded iron seams behind six #CorinthianColumns and was inspired by Athen’s #ChoragicMonumentofLysicrates (335 BC). . . Architect #ThomasWalter who designed the light also designed the East & #WestWing of the US Capitol as well as it’s dome in Washington DC. #igersnewengland #igersmaine #architecture #architecturephotography #nationallighthouseday (at Bug Light Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B04ldhZlDmc/?igshid=goytl81u1rvp
