Stratford Point Light, Maritime lighthouse in Lordship, Stratford, United States
The cast iron tower with a red band and lantern roof stands 11 meters tall at the meeting point of Housatonic River and Long Island Sound.
Initially constructed in 1822 as a wooden structure, the lighthouse received significant modifications in 1881 with the installation of a cast iron tower and third order Fresnel lens.
The National Register of Historic Places listed Stratford Point Light in 1990, marking its importance in American maritime navigation and architectural development.
The lighthouse signal extends 16 nautical miles, functioning as an active navigational aid managed by the United States Coast Guard with associated housing facilities.
Multiple lighthouse keepers maintained the structure from 1822 to 1970, including Amy Buddington, who served as keeper from 1848 to 1861.
