Jordan Point Light in Prince George County, Virginia on the James River,
on Jordan's Point, port side of river. The original light was
built on the James River around 1855. Shore erosion resulted in the need
to rebuild the tower in either 1870 or 1875. This is the structure seen
in these pictures. In 1888 new keeper�s quarters were built. The
light was deactivated in 1927 and the station was abandoned a few years
later. |
