Southold, New York  (Long Island)

Originally commissioned for construction by George Washington in 1790, this light was rebuilt in 1857.  It originally burned whale oil and sported a third-order Fresnel lens.

High on the bluffs overlooking Long Island sound, this light was decommissioned in 1933, then reactivated in 1990.
