I saw this lighthouse on October 18, 2023.
There was a lot of construction in the area and I could only get a few pictures through a fence. Later I found out there was access from a park a distance away.
The lighthouse is owned by Westchester County Parks. Tower closed.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 29 1979
Access: Car
