Liston Range Rear Light, Lighthouse and historic district in New Castle County, United States

The Liston Range Rear Light features a 37-meter wrought iron tower with an internal cylindrical staircase leading to the lantern room at the top.

Built in 1877 by the Kellogg Bridge Company of Buffalo, the lighthouse was relocated in 1906 to guide vessels through the Delaware River navigation channel.

The structure stands as Delaware's tallest lighthouse and maintains its original second-order Fresnel lens for maritime navigation through the Delaware River.

The lighthouse sits three miles inland from the Delaware River, covering the longest navigational range in the United States with white light signals.

The internal structure consists of two quarter-inch metal plates that interlock to form the cylindrical stair tower within the skeletal framework.
