NYFE Summary
The tower was designed to line up with the West Bank Light across the harbor. Aligning the two lights helped ships follow the channel into New York Harbor.
An eight-sided brick shaft rises from a stone base. Large brackets support a walkway below the glass lantern. Small round windows sit between the brackets, while stone frames mark the stair windows below.
