| Notes: | A lighthouse was built on a parapet of Fort Carroll in 1854. The lighthouse and fog bell tower were torn down in 1898 to make room for two new batteries. The lighthouse was rebuilt in December of 1898, about 100 feet north of the old structure. In 1958 the fort and lighthouse were sold into private hands. The property has now been abandoned for some years and is in a state of severe disrepair. A group called Shedding Light is now working for the restoration of the lighthouse - see www.SheddingLight.org or email sheddinglight@mail.com for more information. |
