This striking monochrome image showcases the historic Charlotte-Genesee Lighthouse alongside its accompanying keeper's house, located in Rochester, New York. The photograph captures the elegant cylindrical lighthouse, characterized by its pristine white facade, juxtaposed against the classic brick structure of the keeper's residence. A dramatic sky filled with swirling clouds enhances the scene's intensity, while the bare trees surrounding the site evoke a sense of winter's chill. Established in 1822, this lighthouse is one of the oldest on Lake Ontario and serves as a testament to the region's rich maritime history.
