Cape Cod style

This article is about the Cape Cod style of lighthouse architecture. For the American house design, see Cape Cod (house).

Cape Cod style was a style of lighthouse architecture peculiar to the West Coast, where numerous well-preserved examples still exist. In such lighthouses, the light tower was attached directly to the keeper's dwelling, and centered on the roof; entry was achieved through a stairway in the top floor of the dwelling.

No lighthouses built in the Cape Cod style survive on the East Coast.
