North Point Light was constructed in the early 1860s, carrying a large kerosene burner with a reflector.
[1] In 1899, the lighthouse was replaced with a hardwood framed structure, clad with corrugated iron.
[2] Oddly, a 1909 listing still describes the light as a square wooden lightroom, carrying a fixed sixth order dioptric apparatus.
The light shown is described as a white sector, visible for 7 nautical miles (13 km; 8.1 mi).
[3] In 1912 the lighthouse was transferred to the control of the Commonwealth.
