About Eatons Neck Light
Eatons Neck Light, in Huntington, New York, has been guiding vessels since 1798, when it was built to a design by John McComb Jr. Only one other 18th-century lighthouse still stands in New York State, Montauk Point Light. The tower is made of fieldstone and is 22 m tall.
Congress set aside $13,250 on March 14, 1798. In June, ten acres changed hands for $500, bought from John Gardiner, and on July 2 President John Adams approved construction. Building wrapped up by early December, and the light first shone on January 1, 1799. An inspection in 1837 found it could not be seen from 10 miles (16 km), so twelve lamps fitted with 13-inch reflectors went in the next year.
Funds for a renovation were approved by Congress in 1867. The work took out the wooden stairs, put in iron stairs with landings, lined the interior walls with brick, enlarged the keeper's quarters and added a steam fog signal. In 1907 an oil vapor lamp replaced the oil lamp, in 1921 it was wired for electricity, and four decades later it was automated. A National Register of Historic Places listing dates from 1973.
