Back to the 1937-38 Gloucester City Directory! You can see here the lighthouse keepers and harbor masters for this time period; you might recognize some of the family names on this page of the directory!
I was curious about Carl D. Hill, so I checked the 1940 census for him (available free here). You can see he and his family, along with the assistant Coast Guard Lighthouse keeper Francis Macy and his family. I note with interest that Carl D. Hill was his own enumerator for this entry. This is unusual. That’s a pretty good sized number of people living out there. It is listed as “Federal Property Eastern Point Light Station”.
At this LighthouseAntiques.net website, I found this WONDERFUL picture of the Eastern Point Light Station from about 1939 with the keeper in the picture! I am supposing this teeny tiny figure must be either Carl D. Hill or Francis Macy. What a great find! I thought you might enjoy this little stroll back to the late 1930s with me.

Monumental new street art adorns the Cabot’s historic theater walls above and beside exterior murals painted in the 1990s by owner + staff from Le Grand David Own Spectacular Magic Company. Then and now the exterior murals offered opportunities for Montserrat students to assist in some capacity.
After a competitive mural call with some 70 submissions, Alex Senna, a muralist based in Sao Paulo Brazil was selected to paint the wall at Cabot and Dane streets (here). Helen Bur of London was chosen for the side wall along Judson at Cabot Street (this post), with Abington artist Felipe Ortiz assisting.
A portion of the cost for these 2019 public art works included about $40,000 raised by the Cabot and a grant award ($16,500) from the Essex Creative Community Foundation. The dedication is Tuesday, August 6, 2019 from 5:30-8:30PM at the Cabot (286 Cabot Street, Beverly, MA). Food trucks and brew will be part of the celebration event.
