Chapel Hill Rear Range Light, Maritime lighthouse in Middletown Township, New Jersey, United States.
The rectangular lighthouse features a central tower reaching 45 feet high with white painted walls and a black screen for winter visibility.
The lighthouse started operating in 1856 under keeper John Morrison, guiding vessels through Chapel Hill Channel until its decommission in 1957.
The structure represents maritime navigation methods of the 1850s, working with Conover Beacon to direct ships through New York Harbor approaches.
The lighthouse stands at coordinates 40°23'54"N 74°03'31"W, with its light positioned 224 feet above the bay for maximum navigation effectiveness.
After retirement, the lighthouse transformed into a private residence following its 1959 auction to a businessman for his astronomy-interested son.
