About Brockton Point Lighthouse
The Brockton Point Lighthouse, built in 1915, stands on a point on the south side of Vancouver Harbour. This square, 10.5-meter-high tower features a white finish with a single horizontal red band. Its unique arched base allows the seawall to pass underneath the structure. The lighthouse station was first established in 1890. The keeper's house was removed in the late 1950s. Ownership of the lighthouse transferred to the City of Vancouver in 2006, and it has been inactive since 2008. A federal government grant of $2 million in 2009 funded its restoration.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's unique design and accessible location within Stanley Park make it the most photographed lighthouse in British Columbia.
