This square red-brick tower (with a slight hourglass shape) was built in 1873. It stands 53 feet high and had a white cast-iron lantern. The lighthouse was deactivated in 1961 and shortly afterward was sold to a private party.
From this Range Light, it's 500 feet to the Merrimack River and 3 1/3 miles east across the Harbour to the main Newburyport Harbor Lighthouse.
