History

In 1923, the Lighthouse Service decided to mark this navigational hazard, and a small white shack with a pitched red roof was placed on the sloping point some eighty feet above the water. An array of solar panels now powers the modern beacon positioned atop the shack. [http://www.lighthousefriends.com/light.asp?ID=342 (per Lighthouse Friends)]
