For this week's Whimsical Windows/Delirious Door, I am traveling 13 miles east from home to the entrance of New Haven (CT) Harbor at Lighthouse Point Park. I'm showcasing two items of interest, the lighthouse Five Mile Point Light, opened in 1847 and the close by Lighthouse Point Park Carousel building, opened in 1916.
