This landscape looks much the same today although the United Church is no longer standing. In 1906 Jessie Luther wrote in her diary, "The little church stands on a hill overlooking the harbour, with a lovely view of the sea. It is pretty and well built - quite a surprise for I did not expect to see coloured glass in the pointed windows or a red woolen carpet on the platform." She also noted the good news that a "much needed lighthouse will soon be built at the entrance to St. Anthony harbour, the only one on this part of the coast, which is poorly charted."
