The Watch Hill Light stands on a rocky bluff at the western edge of Little Narragansett Bay, guarding the entrance to Fishers Island Sound on the Rhode Island shore. This 1905 view by L. M. Cobb shows the tower alongside the keeper's house, which was the working center of the station, where the keeper lived and tended the lamp. Lighthouses of this kind were vital to coastal shipping and fishing in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and the keeper's dwelling, with its close link to the tower, is often the most telling detail in pictures like this one.
