The Little Red Lighthouse (Jeffrey's Hook)

Active for 25 years (1921 - 1947) this lighthouse (geoimages.berkeley.edu/wwp904/html/RalphGreene.html) has probably been preserved because of the childrens book:

The Little Red Lighthouse and the Big Grey Bridge by Hildegarde Swift (my.linkbaton.com/isbn/0152470409)
Here's an image from the book: www.tfaoi.com/mn/mn388.jpg

The Little Red Lighthouse still provides a beacon for runners and bikers coming up the Manhattan's Westside (www.nylcv.org/Programs/WPC/blueprint/boroughs/manhattan...
