Thursday is "This Old House Day"

[click image to enlarge]

You can take a 20 minute boat ride from the Shipyard in Quincy Point and arrive in another world just outside Quincy Bay. The house pictured here is located on Lovells Island and is part of the Boston Harbor Islands National Park. This "oil house" was built in 1903, and was used to supply fuel to the lighthouse station that was located on the island but deactivated in 1939 and no longer standing. I like the shell mound and lobster trap in the foreground.
