Notes:
The original lighthouse building here was replaced by a single-story bungalow in 1959. The original structure was then demolished. The present skeleton tower is located approximately 100 feet north of the keeper's house. The light was automated in 1974, but was staffed untill the end of 1985. An additional modern bungalow was built as the assistant keeper's residence in 1960. Both of these structures have a concrete basement built on grade, making the buildings appear to be one and one-half stories. (Thanks to Jim Zeleny.)
