supports an eight-foot thick concrete platform measuring approximately 32 feet by 50 feet. In the center of the platform is an unpainted single-story rectangular reinforced concrete pier measuring approximately 32 feet by 35 feet; open deck space is to either side. A steel doorway facing the breakwater provides access into the structure. Inside is a rectangular room measuring approximately 19.5 feet by 25 feet. A ladder provides access to the superstructure. A 16 feet high machine room measuring approximately 25 feet by 25 feet sits atop the pier. This room formerly held the machinery used to operate the lighthouse. The exterior of the machine room has molded concrete, classical revival wrap-around pilasters at each corner and A projecting classical revival molded concrete cornice across the top with a parapet above. A rectangular double doorway facing the concrete pier's rooftop deck is in one side of the room. The other three sides each have two rectangular windows, approximately five feet tall by three feet wide. The interior of the machine room measures approximately 22 feet by 22 feet, and a ladder in the center provides access to the tower above. The light tower on top of the machine room is a white-painted octagonal steel structure approximately 30 feet tall. The lower level of the tower is approximately 16 feet in diameter, and is slightly wider than the upper level. Eight 12-inch wide stylized Tuscan order pilasters are located at the corners of the octagon, and an architrave, frieze, and cornice encircle the edge of the lip above. Another doorway is at the base of the tower. There are two levels above the case, each octagonal and 14 feet in diameter with four windows. The lantern room at the top is approximately seven feet in diameter and is surrounded by a parapet wall. The original brass pedestal in the center of the lantern room floor supports a modern automated SABIK LED-350 two-tier lantern optic. A door provides access to the lantern galley.
