The sign reads, "The third paragraph of the building n ructions of the 1527 contract described the construction of a Privy;

“Also outhouse or privy at convenient distance from the dwelling of stone or brick five feet by five in the clear, with a well at least eight feed deep, walled up with stone or brick; the roof to be well shingled.”

The privy seen at the far left in the 1905 photograph may be a replacement of the one constructed in 1527.

The light keeper’s property included the entire block bounded by Concord Street to the east, Lafayette Street to the south Alliance Street to the north and Young Street to the west. A fence surrounding the property was erected in 1828. The area to the west of the fence dividing the property was called the pasture. Wooden walkways led from the dwelling to Young Street and the privy."
