For a variety of reasons, including inherent design flaws and construction, changes due to owner whim or neglect, natural disasters, or the changing economic needs of a community, features crumble; an entire building is razed. At the end of the first life, a second life may begin based solely on remaining material fragments. Sometimes they are the only surviving pieces from a structure that had stood for several generations. Or, if the effects of time and weather have required the removal of a single feature, it can now be preserved in a less harsh environment. Collectively, these features, materials, and finishes have many stories to tell as they provide a tangible link with the people who designed, crafted, and used them over time.

Protecting vessels from dangerous headlands, shoals, bars, and reefs, these structures played a vital role in supporting this nation's maritime transportation and commerce industries. Sixteen lighthouses were already in place when the United States formed and lighthouses were one of the new government's first priorities. Subsequently, hundreds more lighthouses have been built along our sea coasts and on the Great Lakes creating the world's largest and most complex system. No other national lighthouse system in the world compares with the United States in size and diversity in architectural and engineering types.
