Olcott Light, Pepperpot lighthouse in Niagara County, United States.

The Olcott Light stands 8.2 meters tall with a square pyramidal structure, featuring white walls and a black lantern at its summit.

Built in 1873 on a pier at Eighteen Mile Creek, the lighthouse guided vessels through Lake Ontario until its deactivation in 1932.

The lighthouse replica constructed in 2003 maintains the maritime heritage of Niagara County and serves as an educational landmark.

Located at coordinates 43°20′20″N and 78°42′54″W, the lighthouse offers navigation reference points for boats entering the deepest harbor west of Rochester.

The structure received its name from its location at Eighteen Mile Creek, measured exactly eighteen miles from the Niagara River at Lake Ontario.
