The lighthouse history... For more than 170 years, this modest stone citadel âÂ?Â? a lighthouse tower attached to a dwelling âÂ?Â? has stood at the entrance to the harbor of Stonington, ConnecticutâÂ?Â?s only port facing on the Atlantic. Now regarded fondly as a durable symbol of a seafaring past, in its working years it performed the valuable service of guiding ships across treacherous Fishers Island Sound. The building is notable among lighthouses of its period for its fanciful stonework, with ornamental cornices around the tower and weighty granite lintels above doorways and windows. When it was built in 1840 it had a nearly flat roof with simulated battlements, but it leaked so badly that two years later local craftsmen were called in to install the gabled roof it has today.
