Old Field Point Light, Maritime lighthouse in Old Field, North Shore of Long Island, United States
The granite lighthouse rises 74 feet above sea level, featuring a circular lantern room and two-foot-thick walls at its coastal location.
The United States government constructed the first lighthouse at this location in 1823 for $2,500, adding essential maritime navigation between Eaton's Neck and Little Gull Island.
Elizabeth Smith maintained the lighthouse operations from 1830 to 1856, marking one of the longest tenures among female keepers in the Third District.
The lighthouse illuminates the waters of Long Island Sound, guiding vessels away from dangerous rocks and sandy reefs near Port Jefferson Harbor entrance.
The Victorian-Gothic Revival architecture matches five other lighthouses in Connecticut and Rhode Island, creating a unified maritime navigation network.
