Description |
The Stony Point lighthouse was built in 1826, and is the oldest lighthouse on the Hudson River. In October, 1995, the lighthouse was restored, relighted, and re-opened to the public for the first time since 1925, when it was decommissioned after having served for nearly one hundred years. The lighthouse marked the danger to ships of a rocky promontory - Stony Point peninsula. Thomas Phillips of New York built the lighthouse (an octagonal pyramid made of blue split stone) - and a nearby keepers' house for $3350. source: Stony Point Lighthouse <a href="http://www2.lhric.org/spbattle/spbattle.htm">www2.lhric.org/spbattle/spbattle.htm</a> |
