This 39 foot tall lighthouse is a white square tower showing a flashing red light every 10 seconds 45 feet above sea level that is visible 13 nautical miles. The light station is equipped with a fog horn that sounds one blast every 30 seconds. The light may also be displayed during daytime when sound signal is in operation. (Reference: 2005 U.S. Coast Guard Light List) The lighthouse was built in 1872, along with a 1 ½ story dwelling for the keeper. The light tower was originally painted brown and was outfitted with a fifth order Fresnel lens that a flashing red light that was visible 11 nautical miles. Improvements to the light station included the construction of a new wooden keeper’s house, storage shed and oil house in 1896. A fog bell and bell tower were added to the station in 1902. The outbuildings at the light station were removed when the lighthouse was automated in 1961.
