- (photo) Lynde Point Lighthouse, Old Saybrook, Conn. c.1930. Clear close view captures nicely the Old Saybrook lighthouse, on the west side of the entrance to the Connecticut River. The 65-foot brownstone tower, seen here, was erected in 1838. The lighthouse is similar to the masonry towers built earlier at New London and Faulkner’s Island, but this one is considered to represent the finest work of the three. The system of 10 lamps and reflectors was replaced in 1852 by a fourth-order Fresnel lens. A fifth-order lens was installed in 1890. Large image measures 5” x 7” and is clear and close. Light wear, a few marks. (VG). $16.
