Hi Baltimore Harbor Light,

The Lighthouse Bidding Battle Post was humorous satire based a flood of bids at the auction deadline. There was minor or no bidding interest in the Lighthouse until the closing of the online auction! No one seemed interested in the expensive offshore Lighthouse until the last minute and my post explained the 10 humorous possible reasons why.

This post was not about seeing only the challenges and I have no doubt that any owner who can afford restoring any structure does so for a richly rewarding experience!

But, really it's no more challenging than restoring any other historic building, it's just different.<br/> Trust me it's well worth it. “Only one reasonable question comes to mind:

It’s hard to explain to those who only see the challenges. But, really it’s no more challenging than restoring any other historic building, it’s just different.
Trust me it’s well worth it.

Extended another day, top bid is now $135,000. You're right about it obviously being a desirable property. :D And so it continues! Extended another day, top bid is now $135,000.

I just checked and it's now up to $130,000! I agree with you, in fact I posted the story yesterday. It's not exactly conducive to a bed and breakfast, is it? I just hope whoever ultimately buys it preserves it. I'm reminded what happened at Squirrel Point Lighthouse in Maine, where the private owner who bought it (under the guise of being non-profit) couldn't maintain it and attempted to sell the lighthouse. It went to the courts, who ultimately ruled it would return to the government. Hi Debbie. I just checked and it’s now up to $130,000!
