Saybrook Breakwater Light, South tip of west end of Saybrook Breakwater, Old Saybrook, Middlesex County, CT
Summary
Significance: Saybrook Breakwater Light is a significant example of a prefabricated, cast-iron lighthouse built on a concrete foundation. This design was developed by the U.S. Lighthouse Board in 1873 as a less expensive alternative to masonry construction for the marking of submerged hazards. The materials, construction, architectural detail and interior finish at Saybrook Breakwater Light reflect the standardized design for this type of structure. This lighthouse is also significant for its role in the navigational aids system on coastal Connecticut, where it warns of shallow water at the mouth of the Connecticut River.
Survey number: HAER CT-178
