St. Simons Island Georgia
The St. Simons Coast Guard Station at East Beach was constructed as one of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Public Works Administration projects in 1936. Colonial revival in style, the standardized design was used for a number of maritime service structures along the American coasts.
The Station’s “First Watch” was on April 1, 1937. At that time, the beach front was much closer to the front of the Station. A companion boathouse was later located on the Frederica River near the causeway to Brunswick. It provided a storage and maintenance facility for the Station’s search and rescue vessels.
