The Cape Cod Oil Works was built on Long Point after the U.S. military ceased occupation of the artillery batteries. The following is excerpted from Long Point (Cape Cod):
- "Even though the Army had moved out, they retained title to the land. Nevertheless, at around the same time that the lighthouse was rebuilt, the Cape Cod Oil Works built a cod fish oil and whale oil factory in the area that had been the barracks. As the land was still a military reservation, the Army tried to have the factory removed a number of times in the ensuing years. Records from this period are scarce, but Army archives indicate that the factory was still operating in 1883. Another source from 1890 says, 'John Atwood built a wharf on the north side of the point, which is standing to-day, used by the Cape Cod Oil Works, the only buildings now left excepting the lighthouse.' The exact date of the factory's closing is unknown, but official Army correspondence in 1917 makes no mention of it."
