BELL ROCK LIGHTHOUSE, Virginia - Drawing and Plan of the Lighthouse as it was in 1879

BELL ROCK LIGHTHOUSE, Virginia - Drawing and Plan of the Lighthouse as it was in 1879. In the nineteenth century, West Point, Virginia was the head of navigation on the York River, and this light was requested in order to facilitate navigation there. A house was built for it at Lazaretto Point in 1880, but this was diverted to Thimble Shoal Light when the latter burned down. A second house was constructed and installed on this spot in 1881. Three years later it was struck by a schooner, breaking three of the support columns; these were repaired expeditiously, however, and the light passed the rest of its days uneventfully.
