Winter Harbor Light, Lighthouse and Historic Site on Mark Island, Hancock County, Maine, United States
The Winter Harbor Light station includes a 19-foot cylindrical brick tower with an octagonal lantern house and an adjoining single-story workroom.
Built in 1856, this lighthouse guided local fishing vessels through Winter Harbor waters until its deactivation in 1933 and registration as historic place in 1988.
The lighthouse represents maritime navigation evolution in Maine, with its fifth-order Fresnel lens technology and architectural elements from the 19th century.
The property remains in private ownership, requiring visitors to observe the lighthouse from designated viewing points near the Schoodic Peninsula coast.
Located on a 2.75-acre island, the station features four structures including an 1876 keeper's house, 1905 brick oilhouse, and 1878 boathouse.
