The Spanish built their first permanent #Lighthouse in #NorthAmerica in St Augustine, #Florida around 1737. Eventually the territory of Florida changed hands until it became part of the United States.
The US maintained the lighthouse, and built a new tower and keeper’s house in 1874. The #tower was again reconstructed in 1955 and converted from coquina stone to #brick.
The #Light was first made electric in 1936, and was automated in 1955.
The lighthouse is still working, and is open for the public to climb its steps to the top at 165 ft (50m).
The lighthouse and its grounds are maintained by the St Augustine Lighthouse and Maritime #Museum.
The #Photograph shows the #shadow of the tower over the #trees below. (https://www.staugustinelighthouse.org/)

Per the St Augustine #Lighthouse and Maritime Museum, the #StAugustine lighthouse was the first in North #America, even though several, wooden lighthouses had been built by the French and Spanish, this light was the first #PermanentStucture serving as a lighthouse.
It has been lit since 1874, and was automated in 1955.
It’s open to visitors, who can climb the #tower if they wish.

Formerly the Pone de Leon #hotel, the building originally erected in St. Augustine, #Florida by Henry #Flagler was meant to be a season-long getaway for Northerners looking to avoid the extreme cold, creating the first “#SnowBirds.”
He hired #Tiffany to create the glassworks, #Edison to build a generator, and dozens of staff to flip electrical switches because the guests feared electrocution.
Flagler went on to continue building in Florida, running his railroad line all the way to Key West.
The Ponce de Leon was eventually converted into Flagler College.
This was taken from atop the old fort, the Castillo de San Marcos.

#FloridaFriday: A wide shot of one of the #marble #lion #statues donated by Dr. Andrew #Anderson, who had commissioned #RomanelliStudios of #Florence, #Italy copies of the #MediciLions, statues in the #RoyalPalace in #Madrid.
They were meant to finish decorating a bridge between St. Augustine, #Florida, and #Anastasia Island, which was itself meant to be both #artistic and utilitarian, resulting in the Bridge of Lions, gaining its name from Anderson’s gift.
The bridge needed #restoration work in 2006, so the lions were removed for their protection, and returned in 2011.
