How old is the keepers dwelling?
The existing keepers’ dwelling, now referred to as Cape House, was built in 1952 as a duplex for the two families that kept the station. They were on duty 24 hours a day, all year long. As the automation of the station progressed, the second keeper was no longer necessary, and during the 1980s, only one keeper was present. By 1988, the automation process was tried and tested and the one keeper was retired, leaving the house abandoned and t he target of vandalism and deterioration.
