History/Info:
The lighthouse on the southeast side of Block Island was built in 1873. The unique brick dwelling has a 52 foot octagonal brick tower that contains an impressive 1^st order fresnel lens. The light, which flashes green, is the only 1^st order fresnel lens in the USA with a green light. The lighthouse and keepers house was close to the end of an eroding cliff but has recently been moved back a safe distance and the Block Island Historical Society is in the process of restoring the inside of the keepers house in hopes of making it a B&B.
