Rochester Harbor Light, New York

The construction of Rochester Harbor lighthouse was a result of the increased navigability of the Port of Charlotte and the City of Rochester during the 1800's.

The skeletal tower in 1931  was replaced by this cylinder style in 1995. It was said that this lighthouse “lacks the charm and intrigue of its predecessors, but it fulfills its duty well.”  This maybe the least physically attracted lighthouse that I've seen, but I believe the use of this lighthouse is more significant than how it looks. 

It is very obvious that this lighthouse has been maltreated and wasn’t maintained well. Even though the lighthouse was vandalized, the harbor is well kept. Its history is intact and the people from this town still live by it. 

The Rochester Harbor is good place to walk, to fish and for birds to hang around and watch passersby.

I love where the lighthouse stands on the outer end of the pier. There is beauty.
