A LIGHT IN THE FIELD: LIGHTHOUSES, FISHERY BUILDINGS, BARNS & MILLS OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND

A Light in the Field: Lighthouses, Fishery Buildings, Barns and Mills of Prince Edward Island is a fascinating look at the blue-collar architecture of Prince Edward Island. It was written by the Nova Scotia architect and journalist H.M. Scott Smith, who explores the island’s sturdily-built barns, mills, fishery sheds and canneries, and lighthouses. The book is packed with drawings and photographs as Smith covers the history and design of 10 lighthouses, 9 fishery buildings, 13 barns, and 5 mills. We see the buildings inside and out, from land, sea and air, and learn who built them, how and why they were built, and what has befallen them since.
