The Old Cape Henry Lighthouse was completed in October 1792, on the shore of Chesapeak Bay. The octagonal structure is made of stone. However, cracks were detected in the masonry in 1872, so a new lighthouse was built in 1881. The Old Cape Henry Lighthouse still stands as a historical landmark in Virginia.
