North Block Island Lighthouse, Rhode Island – Image: 17.5" x 12 .5" not framed
 
Resembling a church or schoolhouse, the present North Block Island Light was built in 1867 and served for more than a century before it was deactivated and replaced in 1970 by an automated offshore beacon. The lighthouse now serves as a redoubt for seagulls.
