The eight-sided lighthouse is of Cape Cod design, with the flagstone base rising 10 feet above ground, and 30 feet frame construction rising above that. The foundation is of stone and cement, such as early farmhouses were build of, with a wooden frame encasing a spiral staircase leading to the top observation deck. A light beacon, still used today, guides boats into the harbor.
