Built in 1879, the Race Rock Lighthouse off the western end of Fishers Island in New York State is an important example of early lighthouse engineering. The architect was F. Hopkinson Smith, who also worked on the foundation of the Statue of Liberty.

That may change once the lighthouse is restored, but in the meantime, here are a few interior images taken last year by Nick Korstad.
