ADMIRALTY HEAD LIGHT
WASHINGTON
Order No. 150

HISTORY: Admiralty Head Light was one of the first lighthouses constructed on the West Coast. . It overlooks Puget Sound with a wonderful view of the Olympic mountains. Constructed in 1860 it is made of brick and stucco with walls 18" thick to withstand local earthquakes. The tower had to make way for the development of Fort Casey needed to strengthen defenses during the Spanish-American war. In 1903 it was rebuilt on a high bluff using a 4th order Fresnel lens with a 120' focal plane. The lighthouse was deactivated in 1922 and the lens can now be seen at the Interpretive Center.
The keeper's house was constructed in 1902. It is two-stories high and built in the California Spanish style. This lighthouse is now part of theWarshington State Parks system and is a museum open to the public.
