Abstract:

Standing alone in the Albemarle Sound, the Roanoke River lighthouse once seemed out of place, but for more than fifty years it has served its humble purpose to mark the mouth of the Roanoke River. With a rich history since its commission in 1887, the Roanoke River Lighthouse has a new exterior and a home right where it started.
