Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Gray Bridge
What's This Book About
Built in 1921 of red steel and cast iron, the “round and fat and jolly” little red lighthouse was made famous for its bravery and faithfulness in this well-loved children’s classic. The lighthouse was closed by the Coast Guard when the George Washington Bridge opened in 1932. In 1951 it was put up for auction, but because the public protested, it was turned over to the Parks Department instead, and then fell into disrepair. Its concrete base cracked; its doors were welded shut.
