Reedy Island Range Rear Light, Navigation lighthouse in Taylors Corner, New Castle County, US.

The skeletal tower lighthouse rises 34 meters above the Delaware River, featuring a fixed red light for maritime guidance.

Built in 1910 during a major dredging project, the lighthouse replaced a temporary pole-mounted locomotive headlight that operated since 1904.

The structure exhibits Colonial Revival architecture and demonstrates early 20th-century engineering methods through its cast-iron tower design.

Visitors can reach the lighthouse location via Route 9, though interior access remains limited as it continues to function as a navigation aid.

The lighthouse foundation rests upon nine concrete piers and uses a DCB-224 aerobeacon, replacing its original fifth-order Fresnel lens.
