Braddock Point Light

Braddock Point Light

Braddock Point Light was a lighthouse at Braddock Point on Lake Ontario in New York.

The lighthouse was established and lit in 1896 and was deactivated in 1954. The lighthouse was constructed out of red brick. The shape of the tower was octagonal. The original lens installed in 1896 was a third and half order Fresnel lens. The lantern portion of the tower was removed from an 1870s lighthouse in Cleveland Ohio and moved to Braddock.
