Cold Spring Harbor Light, Lighthouse on Long Island Sound, United States
Cold Spring Harbor Light stands as a square wooden structure with a pyramidal design, positioned near the northern shore of Long Island.
The lighthouse began operations in 1890 with a fourth-order Fresnel lens, marking the entrance of Cold Spring Harbor for maritime navigation until 1965.
Maritime keepers maintained the lighthouse through decades, including William Murray and Louis Brown, who managed its critical navigation functions.
The structure remains on private property one mile southwest of its original location, restricting direct access for visitors to the historical building.
After deactivation, the entire lighthouse was purchased for one dollar and transported from its offshore position to a residential lawn.
