We love our Key West Lighthouse!

KEY WEST FUN FACT #3: When the Key West Lighthouse was constructed in 1847 it stood 58 feet high and was close to the water. After the island expanded through landfilling, the lighthouse was elevated to 78 feet so its beacon could be seen over the trees. The landlocked Key West Lighthouse now sits seven blocks from the ocean.
