The Lighthouse Home!
Built in 1831, Poplar Point lighthouse at the entrance to Wickford Harbor started out as a small one room house divided in the center with a chimney, allowing a fireplace on each side. There was a kitchen attached to the west side of the house with the lighthouse tower rising to 37' from the house's east side. Today it is considered to be America's oldest non-freestanding wooden lighthouse.
