John Smith told me the little booth to the right in this photo was for a person to sit in & watch for German war planes & submarines along the coast. His mom was one of the spotters that sat there with binoculars during WWII they had a phone line to call if they spotted one. During the war most beach front homes had blackout curtains on their windows. The Germans would use the lights along the shore to navigate at night.
