As the lighthouse was and is only accessible via water, it was created as a "family lighthouse" with the keeper and his family living within the structure. The keepers house consisted of seven rooms with a kitchen, dining and sitting room on the first floor and bedrooms on the second. The Esopus Meadows Lighthouse is the only existing lighthouse built with a wood frame and clapboard exterior. All the lighthouses of similar construction on the river have long ago dissappeared.
