South Tower

This sketch depicts the south tower of the Twin Lights Light Station in Navesink, New Jersey. While it was never the tallest lighthouse, its large stone blocks and castle-like appearance make it a very powerful, imposing structure. Its form followed its function as its light was, at one time, the most powerful in the country. Its unique architecture also helps to make it a very effective day marker as it steadfastly protects ships passing by as they enter New York Harbor.
