Constructed within the early 1870s, the South Pier Lighthouse was built as an open 30-foot wood tower

topped by an octagonal cast iron lantern. The lower deck of the tower was a storage room that
contained supplies to maintain the light and was also used as a place of shelter when the light keepers
worked on the light.
