Staten Island Named National Lighthouse Center Prospect
The US Lighthouse Society chose Staten Island as the future National Lighthouse Center and Museum site, citing financial appeal and growth potential. The depot near the ferry terminal, once the Lighthouse Service HQ, houses five aging 1860s buildings now vandalized and weathered, with plans for a museum complex and visitor facilities amid ferry-era views of Manhattan.
