The first Key West lighthouse was a 65-foot tower completed in 1825.The Great Havana Hurricane of 1846 destroyed the lighthouse.
The new tower for the Key West Light was completed in 1849. It was 66 feet tall with 13 lamps in 21-inch reflectors, and stood on ground about 15 feet above sea level.
The growth of trees and taller buildings in Key West began to obscure the light, and in 1894 the tower was raised twenty feet, placing the light about 100 feet above sea level.
The Coast Guard decommissioned the Key West Light in 1969.
