An elevated view of the St. Augustine Lighthouse looking southwest, circa 1879. This is likely one of the last photos taken from the tower of the first Lighthouse (built of coquina) before it collapsed into the sea in June 1880. The current lighthouse was built from 1871-74. This annotated detail of the left image is from a stereo view originally produced by the Florida Club. #staugustinelighthouse #staugustine #florida #lighthouse #1800s #photooftheday #vintage #photography #stafla #staugustinebeach #anastasiaisland #museum #nonprofit #saintaugustine #lovefl
