About St. John's Harbour Range Rear Lighthouse
The St. John's Harbour Range Rear light station was established in 1902. The structure is an 8-meter tall, square pyramidal wooden tower painted white with a red vertical stripe. It features a lantern and gallery, with a red lantern roof. This rear range light is situated atop a former church building, which was constructed in 1892 and later renovated into the Chapel Hill Condominiums. The tower's focal plane reaches 59 meters above sea level, providing a geographic range of 20 nautical miles. It emits a continuous green light. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: Designated a Municipal Heritage Structure, the building housing this light serves as a distinctive landmark and contributes to the historical appeal of St. John's urban landscape.
