Aerial view of South Fox Island showing both of its lighthouses. The original lighthouse is a brick structure with an attached keeper’s house that was first lighted on November 1, 1867. It was deactivated in 1934 and replaced by a 60-foot skeletal light tower that was moved to the island in 1933 from Sapelo Island, Georgia. The keeper’s quarters in the original brick structure and an assistant keeper’s house built in 1910 by the original lighthouse remained in use until the lighthouse was automated in the late 1950s. The light was discontinued in 1968.
