The Orient Point Lighthouse, known as “The Coffee Pot”, was built in 1899 to mark the end of Oyster Point Reef and to guide mariners through the dangerous currents of Plum Gut. The lighthouse was designed in the shape of a truncated cone of curved cast iron plates bolted together.

Some history.

In 2011 the lighthouse was set on the auction block, the government wanted to demolish it. Thankfully, Randy Polumbo, an artist from NYC, stepped in and bought this historic lighthouse. After much effort and money he has converted it into an artist retreat.
