"The North Head Lighthouse was built in response to a marked increase in the number of shipwrecks along the Peninsula as mariners coming from the north could not see the Cape Disappointment light" – located two miles to the south.

North Head Light was completed in 1898 – three years after this photograph was taken.

Property markers at North Head Light bear the initials LHE, for Lighthouse Establishment, the original name for the government body overseeing lighthouses in the United States.

Compare this to an almost identical view from the Tyrrell Collection here by King: www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/2363496110/ By comparing the growth of trees and shrubs and by comparing the state dilapidation of the wooden paling fence in the foreground bordering the vacant block of land and the roadway , I would say that this Phillips collection view preceded the other by between 4 and 10 years.
