Bellevue Range Rear Lighthouse is a lighthouse in Delaware,
United States, on the mouth of the Christina River on the Delaware River, Wilmington, Delaware




History


The Bellevue Range Rear Lighthouse is a pyramidal skeletal light tower built in 1909 on the grounds of a landfill. It was operated by resident keepers from 1909 until 1934 when it was automated. The Bellevue Range Rear light was deactivated in 2001 when the landfill grew too high to see the light, and a modern tower was built to replace it. The modern tower is an active aid to navigation. The Bellevue Range Rear Light is not open to the public.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.




Head keepers


William E. Spicer (1909 – 1911)
Linwood Spicer (1911 – at least 1917)
William H. Johnson (1919 – 1938)
