Stony Point Light, Lighthouse in Jefferson County, United States
The white lighthouse with black lantern rises 73 feet above Lake Ontario near Henderson Bay, featuring a square structure and keeper's quarters.
The lighthouse, established in 1826, guided ships through Lake Ontario waters until 1945 when a new light structure replaced the original building.
Keeper Wiley Gilbert Nickles managed the lighthouse operations for thirty years despite physical limitations, receiving support from his family members.
The lighthouse property remains under private ownership and does not permit public access, while the US Coast Guard maintains the navigation equipment.
In 1902, Keeper George N. Gray earned a gold lifesaving medal for rescuing the crew of schooner John R. Noyes during severe weather conditions.
