The state of Rhode Island is home to a number of historic lighthouses. The Cape Lookout Lighthouse is one of these historic structures. This light was completed in 1901 and was the last lighthouse built in the state. Originally located near the mouth of the Providence River, this light has since been relocated and is now privately owned. It is a great place to visit and learn about the history of lighthouses on Rhode Island.
The United States government has put two historic lighthouses on the market. The Beavertail Lighthouse, at 64 feet tall, and the Watch Hill Lighthouse, at 45 feet, are both up for bid. Since they are free to bid on, only federal or state agencies, nonprofit corporations, or educational organizations can apply. Bidders must submit their letters of interest within 60 days. The auction ends on October 30.
The Newport Neck is home to the 1890 Castle Hill Light, which was built on the edge of the peninsula. It stands at the entrance of Narragansett Bay’s east passage. The lighthouse was constructed of rough-cut granite blocks and features a square tower with four corners rounded off at the top. Inside, it is equipped with an octagonal cast-iron lantern and an open gallery.
Before the advent of modern technology, the state’s lighthouses were made of cast-iron. The construction of these towers resembled that of a caisson, but they were built on land. Moreover, the diameter was smaller and the tower was much shorter than the earlier one. There was also one living room in the lighthouse, but the keepers had separate dwellings to protect them and their families.
