Buffalo South Entrance, NY

In the early years of the 20th Century, Buffalo, New York, and its suburbs became the world’s leading lumber port, grain milling and storage center. To flank the new south entrance two lighthouses were built; a manned station (south side) and an oddly shaped metal structure (north side) later known as the “bottle light”. With a $45,000 appropriation by the United States Congress, work began on the foundation. On September 15, 1903, both the south side and north sidelights were exhibited for the first time. On November 12,1904, a fog siren powered by twin thirteen horsepower engines and compressed air was ready! The Buffalo South Entrance South Side Lighthouse has a tower with a cylindrical base, conical, white mid-section and a black lantern room. The lantern room has glass panes, in a diamond configuration, equipped with a fourth Order Fresnel Lens. In 1935, the lighthouse was automated and now is inactive. In its place a modern, easy to maintain post light, marking the end of an era.
