THE CAPE LOOKOUT LIGHTHOUSE

The following pictures were taken to show the differences in the wall thickness.  This was accomplished by photographing the ten windows of the tower, which stands 163 feet in height.  Its walls taper from a total of 9 feet thick at the base to 1 foot 7 inches at the top.
