The octagonal iron pyramidal tower was built by a Chicago steel firm for the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. After the fair it purchased by the U.S. government, Russell Wheel and Foundry of Detroit, Michigan completed the metal work for the structure in 1907. It was then dis-assembled and moved to Hillsboro Inlet. The J.H. Gardner Construction Company of New Orleans, Louisiana cleared the land, laid the foundations and re-assembled and erected the lighthouse. The construction is held together with bolts there are no welds. Iron piping held together with 192 special cast iron joints and 80 tension rods with turnbuckles make up the structure. It is supported by eight concrete foundations in a 40-foot (12 m) circle with a ninth at the center. It is an iron skeleton framework with a central column and a watch house. The inner column has circular stairs and space for the weights that were used to rotate the lens. It stands 132 feet (40 m) tall. It was lit on March 7, 1907. It is one of the oldest structures in Broward County. _____________________________ Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Focal Length: 50mm Exposure: 30 Seconds @ F8 ISO 400 Filters: None.
