Product Description

Although a lighthouse was proposed in 1845 for the dangerous Southwest Ledge at the entrance to New Haven Harbor, it was not until 1873 that it became possible to build affordably on the mile-off-shore site. It was one of the first lighthouses in the nation to be built on a cylindrical iron foundation, an innovation by Major George H. Elliott that allowed floating ice to drift around the structure rather than collecting and damaging its foundation.

This is a capstone style for your white space.
