#NSLighthouseProject: Horton Bluff Range Front Light and Black Rock Lighthouse, both located along the Bay of Fundy, in Kings County, Nova Scotia.

 

The Horton Bluff Lighthouse is situated on the west side of the Avon River near its mouth. The original 1851 structure, featured a light shown from a window of three panes that projected from the roof of the keeper's dwelling.

 

The first lighthouse burned down in April, 1883, and five months later, its replacement, a square wooden pyramidal tower with attached dwelling, was completed.

 

The present Horton Bluff Lighthouse was built in 1961 along with two keeper's dwellings, and the previous lighthouse was unceremoniously pushed over the cliff and burned after seventy-eight years of service. The 1961 lighthouse features an 8.7 meter high tower rising from one corner of a square, flat-roofed building. An orange vertical stripe, visible from the water, is painted on the tower.

​

The original Black Rock Lighthouse, built in 1848, was a square wooden building that served as both a light tower and keeper's home. 

The light was exhibited from a three-sided bow window on the shoreward side of the building's pyramidal roof

 

The current light, which replaced the original lighthouse in 1967, is a white cylindrical fiberglass tower 10.4 meters tall with two red horizontal bands and a flashing white light. The daymark is opposite that used on the tower at Mitchener Point.
