My great Grandfather was the lighthouse keeper at this lighthouse in the late 1800's That could be him in the drawing!
Ira Shander replied:
Could be. I used a late 19th century photo for reference. This type and design was unusual at this time. The government used a kind of cookie cutter design approach for most of them. This must have been an important lighthouse given its strategic location in the narrows leading to New York harbor. Thanks for taking time to comment. Ira Shander
