- (photo) Sheffield Island Lighthouse, Norwalk, Ct. c.1950-1970 by Booz Photos. Lovely 8” x 10” b/w original photograph provides an excellent, clear, close view of the charming stone keeper’s house and light tower. In 1827, a lighthouse was built on 53-acre Sheffield Island to mark the dangerous ledges at the entrance to the Norwalk’s harbor. The stone mid-Victorian style lighthouse that still stands was built in 1868. The style is very similar to several other lighthouses built about the same time: Block Island North Light in Rhode Island, Great Captain Island Light and Morgan Point Light in Connecticut, and Plum Island Light and Field Point Light in New York. Great view for framing. By Booz Photos, Perth Amboy, NJ. (VG+). $42.
