Windmill Point Lighthouse
On April 1, 1933, the present “simple and architecturally pleasing” lighthouse commenced operation right next to the river. The lighthouse is some 50 feet above the water and is constructed of an octagonal reinforced concrete base. The tower is cylindrical, of quarter-inch steel plates, rising to a height of about 33 feet above the base, on that is a cylindrical section projects above the steel deck of the tower. A special steel casting on top of the cylinder supports the optical apparatus. This consists of 2 375-millimeter buoy lanterns, 1 set directly above the other, and the 2 separated by means of a cast drum. In the lower lantern a sixth-order lens is utilized, this being accessible through a cast door plate on the landward side. The main light source is a T-20 monoplane filament, 500-watt lamp, with the flat side of the filament facing in the direction of the river, and through the sixth-order lens, producing a light of about 12,000 candlepower.
