Lazaretto Point Light, Historic lighthouse in Baltimore Harbor, United States
The Lazaretto Point Light stands as a brick and masonry structure measuring 31 feet in height, with its white light guiding ships through Baltimore Harbor.
John Donahoo constructed the original lighthouse in 1831 on a site previously occupied by a smallpox quarantine hospital that gave the point its name.
The lighthouse depot established in 1863 became a central facility for the construction and maintenance of numerous lighthouses throughout the Chesapeake Bay region.
In 1914, the lighthouse received electrical power and an upgraded lens system, though nearby industrial developments gradually reduced its effectiveness for navigation.
The Rukert Terminal Corporation built a replica of the original lighthouse in 1985 using blueprints discovered in the National Archives.
