Sea Girt Lighthouse, New Jersey

Built in 1896 the Sea Girt Lighthouse is located on the New Jersey shore at the midpoint between the Twin Lights of Navesink and the Barnegat Lighthouse. This was the last coastal lighthouse with an integral keeper's residence built on the east coast of the United States. Today the lighthouse celebrates its history, serves as a community center and is beloved by the town.

Finally in July 1895 title to a 100 foot square plot next to the entrance to Wreck Pond was secured. Plans were drawn up for the new lighthouse. The structure would consist of an “L” shaped six room two story brick Victorian dwelling with a square tower in its center. The structure completed in 1896 would be the last integral lighthouse built on the East coast. In addition to the lighthouse an oil house and a windmill to pump water were built on the lighthouse reservation.
