Although one could gather from the multiple room air conditioners the building could use additional insulation and maybe central air, the facades of no. 314 and its neighbor are outstanding. I hope their owners know and appreciate the unique style of these landmark buildings.

| The code for identifying the light is noted at the bottom of the card. If you visit, please remember that the keeper's house was sold in 1931 and is now a private residence. Only the lighthouse itself is open to the public. Please respect the neighbors' privacy! For more information, see the New London Maritime Society site. |
New London Harbor Light has been restored by the New London Maritime Society, which proudly maintains other lighthouses in the region.
