Nayatt Point Light, Lighthouse in Barrington, Rhode Island
The square brick lighthouse stands 25 feet tall at the entrance of Providence River, featuring a keeper's house from the original 1828 construction.
Congress allocated 3,500 dollars in 1828 for the construction of the first lighthouse, which experienced structural problems due to low-cost contractors.
The lighthouse served as a critical navigational marker for vessels entering Providence River, with Daniel Wightman serving as the first keeper from 1828 to 1845.
The structure received a fourth-order Fresnel lens in 1863, extending its light visibility to guide ships through the narrow channel between Nayatt Point and Conimicut Point.
The keeper's house at Nayatt Point Light remains the oldest surviving lighthouse keeper's residence in the state of Rhode Island.
