Harbour Lights Braddock Point NY

This privately owned and operational Lighthouse of brick construction was built in 1895, the original site had a 97" tower, a 2.5 story Victorian style Keeper's dwelling and carriage house. The Braddock Point Light was built to guide mariners traveling to and from Rochester NY - Ontario.

The octagonal tower houses a 3.5 Order Fresnel Lens. The lens, lantern and metal work were obtained from the Cleveland Light which was demolished in 1895. Braddock Point was one of the brightest Lights on Lake Ontario.

After withstanding many years of harsh weather, the United States Coast Guard deactivated the light and removed about two-thirds of the tower in 1954.

As time went on the elements and vandalism caused the tower and Keeper's dwelling to fall into a state of further disrepair.

In February 1986, the Thulin Family purchased the property and began the painstaking task of replacing structural walls, making moldings and totally restoring the once gracious home. This labor of love extended for eight years. Through this time, the Thulins had many conversations with the United States Coast Guard resulting in the tower being rebuilt and on February 28, 1998 Braddock Point was relit, once again shining bright!
