Description
Kingston Lighthouse is a lighthouse built in 1846. It is constructed of ashlar stone with a wooden superstructure. The tower tapers and features a roll-moulded plinth, with a half-ovolo moulded platform above. At the top, there is a narrow round superstructure surrounded by railings, which includes a large window facing south. The roof is polygonally-hipped and is topped with a globe and an arrow weather-vane.
