Buffalo Harbor South Entrance Light
Transportation
Buffalo Harbor South Entrance Light at Stony Point marked the entrance to Buffalo Harbor on Lake Erie as part of the city’s navigation system. Established in 1903, the station included a three-story cast-iron light tower with a lantern, a concrete fog signal building, and an L-shaped concrete pier, all built to guide vessels safely at night and in poor visibility. The light was deactivated in 1993 and replaced by a nearby modern post light, but the station endured as a notable piece of Buffalo’s waterfront infrastructure. In 2007, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its maritime role and unusual completeness as an early-20th-century harbor light station.
