34027. (stereoview) Thirty Mile Point Lighthouse, Lake Ontario c.1870’s.
- (stereoview) Thirty Mile Point Lighthouse, Lake Ontario c.1870’s. Maker not noted. Close, clear view from drawing or painting shows great detail of this landmark light station on Lake Ontario. A greatly detailed view, clear, quite good condition. Orange mount. Even today, Thirty Mile Point Lighthouse is quite isolated, being some distance from any major port or city. This is because the lighthouse wasn’t built to guide mariners to a safe harbor, but rather as a coastal light, warning mariners of shoals and guiding them along this portion of Lake Ontario. The two-story, seven-room dwelling and attached seventy-foot-tall, square tower were built in a High Victorian Gothic style using natural faced limestone blocks. The light from the tower’s six-panel, third-order Fresnel lens, which cost just over $3,000 and was manufactured in France by L. Sautter and Company, was first exhibited on April 27, 1876. New York State began acquiring acreage around the lighthouse in the 1950s, and in 1962, 378-acre Golden Hill State Park was created. The lighthouse was transferred from the Coast Guard to the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation in 1984. Believe to be a rare view of this charming light station.
