Caption: "Montauk Lighthouse, Most Northern Point on Long Island, N.Y., Aug. 18, 1934." The Montauk Lighthouse, first lit in 1797, was the first lighthouse built in New York. Ezra L'Hommedieu designed the building as well as choosing its site on the eastern edge of Long Island. A renovation in 1860 raised the lighthouse to its current height of more than 110 feet. A larger lantern was installed at that time as well. Electrified in 1940, it is now a National Historic Landmark as well as an active lighthouse.
Date: 8/18/1934
