Ponce Inlet Light, FL
When the tower was completed, a first-order Fresnel lens, constructed in 1867 by the Parisian firm of Barbier and Fenestre,
was assembled in the lantern room. The lens was somewhat unique in that the landward side of the lens was composed of three
concave reflecting panels. The light was exhibited for the first time on November 1, 1887, by head keeper William Rowlinski,
who had most recently served as first assistant keeper at the Cape Romain Lighthouse.
