Lighthouses, Towers, Architecture, Interesting Places, Other Towers

The Tchefuncte River Range Lights are a range that was first established in 1838 to aid vessels entering the river from the north side of Lake Pontchartrain, Louisiana. The original rear tower suffered during the Civil War and was replaced with the current tower in 1868. The new tower, ten feet taller than the first, was built on the same foundation, using some of the same brick. It was given a lantern which had been removed from Cat Island Light in Mississippi.
