Umpqua River Lighthouse

The lighthouse station included the tower, two oil houses, two dwellings, and a barn. Construction was racked with contract disputes, and adding to the delay, when the tower was finally near completion it was discovered that the pedestal for the light was 15 inches short. The light, a first-order Fresnel lens manufactured in 1890 by Barbier & Cie of Paris, using a Funck mineral oil lamp, was lit for the first time on December 31, 1894, with a signature of two white flashes followed by a red flash.
