Marblehead Lighthouse - Mass.

The light at Marblehead, Massachusetts, was established in 1836. Its tower was low, but adequate for the time. But as the years rolled by, houses rose up around the station and obscured the light. After more than a decade of suspending the light from a 100-foot mast, the Lighthouse Board erected a new tower, 100 feet tall, on the site of the old one and lighted it April 17, 1896.
