Summary
Significance: Built in 1910 after plans originating at least as early as 1895, the Reedy Island Range Rear Light is a fine example of a cast-iron tower erected by the U.S. Lighthouse Establishment. This type of structure was resorted to because it was economical and could be easily erected. If necessary, it could also be dismantled readily, moved, and re-erected on a new site.
