[1] Ediz Hook is a three-mile-long sand spit that juts north and east into the Strait of Juan de Fuca and forms the natural harbor at Port Angeles.

Private operators built navigational warning fires on the spit as early as 1861.

It was a two-story, schoolhouse-type building with a lighthouse tower arising at one end of its gabled roof.

[4] The new lighthouse used the same Carl W. Leick design employed at Oregon's Cape Arago Light.

[1] The light tower of the 1908 keeper's house was removed when the structure was relocated to Fourth and Albert streets in Port Angeles where it has been a private residence since 1946.
