It is my understanding that PWGSC never owned either structure but did have ownership of the land. Public Works did however replace the roof on the Keeper's house and removed the bird guano from the lighthouse back in the early 1990's. The lantern room wasn't accessible during this clean up but was done by DFO later as stated in the article. The walls of the lighthouse are five feet thick at the base and there is little doubt that it will around for a long time, in fact the cost would be prohibitive to demolish it due to it's sound structural condition. The Keeper's house is another story.

Attached is the King's Head Inn plaque located just north of Hutch's on the Trail.
