Lantern Railing

The lantern gallery, which includes the deck walkway and exterior railing around the outside of the lantern, is circular and is 2 foot 6 inches wide around the entire lantern. Metal stanchions around the lantern gallery support a horizontal guardrail. The top portion of the guardrail has a diamond shaped crossed strap pattern and is approximately one foot tall on top with a single metal railing closer to the floor. This is the one of the more ornate and detailed features of the lighthouse. On the western side of the lighthouse a section of railing has been removed and is presently slung with two lengths of chain for safety.
