Historic St Marks Lighthouse - 5x7 Florida Greeting Card by Mark Tisdale.
This Florida greeting card features the historic St Marks Lighthouse. This beautiful lighthouse has the distinction of being Florida's second oldest.
When the original St Marks lighthouse was completed in 1831, the port at town of St Marks was a major port for parts of Florida and south Georgia. The 1831 light was actually dismantled and rebuilt in 1842 when erosion threatened the first location. Both the original building and re-construction in 1842 were overseen by lighthouse builder, Winslow Lewis. The light station was damaged in the American Civil War and rebuilt after the conclusion of the war. It was at that time the lighthouse was increased from 65 to 73 feet.
The historic St Marks Lighthouse is depicted here beneath a star-filled night sky. The warm glow of the lantern and the building at its base gives a welcoming vibe, don't you think?
