This lighthouse was completed in 1849 and consisted of a tower and separate keeper's house, both

constructed of Cream City brick. The tower was somewhat over 35 feet tall. Starting in 1859 the
lighthouse was "rebuilt". In fact, a entirely new brick structure was constructed, reusing some elements
and materials of the older dwelling. The design of the new house consisted of two-stories with roof

tower.
