New Dorp Light, Wooden lighthouse in Egbertville, Staten Island, United States.

The New Dorp Light stands 24 meters tall with a square tower structure built from lumber materials and supported by a brick foundation.

The United States Congress approved funds for this lighthouse in 1852, leading to its completion in 1856 to guide ships through Swash Channel.

The lighthouse represents maritime engineering practices of the 1850s and maintains both National Register of Historic Places and New York City Landmark status.

Located at the end of Boyle Street, this private residence requires navigating through Altamont Street and is not accessible to general visitors.

John Vokral purchased the abandoned structure at auction for $32,000 in 1974 and transformed it into a residential property.
