| In pictures from our history file, dated 1875 and 1915, the original lantern cage was in place. | This artist's interpretation from original plans show the lantern cage with the large glass lens | Sometime, probably in the 1920's the first lantern cage was replaced with a new steel model. We think that this corresponds to the change from oil lamps to an electric beacon. |
