Thanks for purchasing this Cornerstone® kit. Please read these instructions and study the drawings before starting. PLEASE
NOTE: All plastic parts are made of styrene, and most simply snap in place. Some may require gluing as noted in the
instructions, using cement made for styrene (sold separately). For a more permanent and sturdy structure you can also glue
all parts together at the snap fit locations if desired. Doors and Windows are molded as complete subassemblies with “glass”
already in place, and windows can be detailed with the printed curtains, and/or the unique window lighting kit, both included
with your new model. If you wish to paint any parts, do so before starting construction using plastic-compatible paints.
Since ancient times mariners have relied on lighthouses to warn of hazards and as navigation aids. Coastal states originally
built and ran their own until control passed to the federal government in 1789 under the direction of the United States
Lighthouse Service (and since 1939, the US Coast Guard). While this led to standardized equipment and rules no two
lighthouses were alike as all were built by local contractors. Adding to their character, many were also painted with unique
contrasting colors to serve as “day marks” to assist passing vessels during daylight hours. Although a civilian agency,
lighthouse operations and regulations were modeled along those of the Navy, with each light staffed by a Keeper with duties
similar to a ship’s captain, and in some locations an Assistant Keeper. These jobs were not easy. The majority of lighthouses
were in very remote and/or offshore locations, which required living quarters for all personnel — with permission, married men
could bring their families, and wives and children frequently pitched in to assist with the never-ending maintenance. Rapid
advances in technology made it possible to abandon many lighthouses in the 20th century and to fully automate all remaining
US lighthouses by 1998. Many have since been preserved and restored as a living reminder of the past. See your local hobby
