About Sabine Pass Lighthouse
This lighthouse was constructed in 1856 and first illuminated the same year. Standing 23 meters tall, its structure is made of brick. The light station is located on the Louisiana side of the Sabine River, across from Sabine Pass, Texas. It was deactivated by the Coast Guard in 1952 and is now abandoned, though preservation efforts continue. This design was one of only three built in the United States.
Why it matters: The lighthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 17, 1981, and may be the oldest brick structure still standing in Southwest Louisiana.
Background
The Sabine Pass Lighthouse, or Sabine Pass Light as it was referred to by the United States Coast Guard, is a historic lighthouse, as part of a gulf coast light station, on the Louisiana side of the Sabine River, in Cameron Parish, across from the community of Sabine Pass, Texas. It was first lit in 1857 and was deactivated by the Coast Guard in 1952. One of only three built in the United States of similar design, the light was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as "Sabine Pass Lighthouse" on December 17, 1981. It is now abandoned but has long continued to be the subject of preservation efforts.
The Calcasieu Historical Preservation Society – with interest because the lighthouse was once in Calcasieu Parish – has listed that the lighthouse may be the oldest brick structure still standing in Southwest Louisiana.Light & Optic
