Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse

The Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse was built during the Third Seminole War (1855-1859), at that time, Chief Billy Bowlegs and his warriors crossed the state and attacked the Lighthouse construction crews slowing down the work on the Lighthouse. In fact, the constant Seminole threat and outbreaks of Jupiter fever (malaria or yellow fever) often disrupted the construction which can be seen in the  different bands of brick shade. These different shades (colors) of brick indicate where work was  interrupted and later continued in a series of stops and starts until the end of the war. Early photos taken before the lighthouse was painted its present red in 1910 indicate the work interruptions by the frequent color changed.
