This Artist Residence Will Guide You Safely Ashore

When was the last time you heard about a “gorgeous” hazmat situation? Yet that’s exactly the word master builder and installation artist Randy Polumbo used to describe the dilapidated lighthouse in Orient Point, New York, he purchased off a government website.

“It had peeling lead paint, cauliflowers coming out of the plaster, rust, mold, mildew, and a few dead birds and some bird crap, but it definitely was beautiful in that kind of decayed, weird way,” he says.

But what was once a disaster is now a dream, as Polumbo has transformed the dilapidated structure into an inspiring place for artists. See the incredible interiors of this lighthouse on SecondShelters.com now.
