Oakland Harbor Light, Maritime beacon in Oakland, United States.

The Oakland Harbor Light features a square tower rising from the center of the keeper's house with a white structural design and concrete foundations.

Built in 1890, the first lighthouse served the Oakland Harbor entrance until 1902 when deteriorating wooden pilings required construction of a larger structure.

The lighthouse transformation into Quinn's Lighthouse Restaurant in 1984 maintains maritime heritage while offering dining experiences in a historical setting.

Located at 1951 Embarcadero East in Oakland's Embarcadero Cove Marina, the former lighthouse remains accessible to visitors interested in maritime architecture.

The structure contained a fifth-order Fresnel lens and a 3,500-pound fog bell that caused the entire lighthouse to shake when struck every five seconds.

Location: Alameda County
