The watch deck at the Graves Light will be converted into a kitchen. / Dave Waller

California and Alaska. The record sales price for a lighthouse was $933,888 by Boston businessman Dave Waller. He purchased the Graves Light at the mouth of Boston Harbor in 2013, and has been renovating the structure since that time. In the process of converting the struc- ture into a summer home for him and his family, the work has consumed him. “We have our little piece of heaven and we’re happy with it.” “It’s a ton of fun, and it’s all I can think about,” Waller says. “It’s the adventure of a lifetime.” The lighthouse, built between 1903 and 1905, is 113 feet tall, and when Waller is done with the renovation, it will have seven floors of space, a self-contained system for electricity and waste, and guest quarters
