The Buffalo Main Lighthouse was built in 1833, and was operational until about 1914. It is an 80 foot stone octagonal tower, and is the oldest building in Buffalo still standing on its original site. It was noted as a mark in 1875.

The station is the angle on the stone water table (stone lip) approximately 2.5 feet above the ground, and to the left of the door to the lighthouse (when facing it).
