It was the last major light established in Washington.[7] The light was updated five years later with a {{convert|38|ft|adj=on}} octagonal concrete tower rising from the fog signal building, a design that matches the Alki Point Light in Seattle.[8] Two keeper's houses and other structures also date from around this time.[9] A fourth-order Fresnel lens was first exhibited from the new tower on June 30, 1919.[7] The Coast Guard automated the Lime Kiln Lighthouse in August 1962, using photoelectric cells to turn the light on at dusk and off during daylight hours. In 1998, the drum lens was replaced with a modern optic, flashing a white light once every 10 seconds.[11] Sitting on the rocky shoreline at a height of {{convert|55|ft}}, the beacon is visible for {{convert|17|mi|nmi km|disp=flip}}.[8] References1. ^{{cite gnis|1506156|Lime Kiln Lighthouse}} [3][4][5][6][7][8][9]2. ^{{NRISref|version=2010a}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://friendsoflimekilnsociety.org/lighthouse/tours/ |title=Tours |publisher=Friends of Lime Kiln Society |accessdate=May 4, 2015}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.cr.nps.gov/maritime/light/limekiln.htm |title=Lime Kiln Light |work=Inventory of Historic Light Stations: Washington Lighthouses |publisher=National Park Service |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20040417230359/http://www.cr.nps.gov/maritime/light/limekiln.htm |archivedate=April 17, 2004 |accessdate=May 4, 2015}} 5. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=http://www.lighthousefriends.com/light.asp?ID=105 |title=Lime Kiln, WA |publisher=Lighthousefriends |accessdate=May 4, 2010}} 6. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=http://www.historylink.org/index.cfm?DisplayPage=output.cfm&File_Id=7704 |title=Lime Kiln and Cattle Point Lighthouses |publisher=HistoryLink |work=The Online Encyclopedia of Washington State History |first= Daryl C. |last=McClary |date=March 25, 2006 |accessdate=May 4, 2015}} 7. ^1 {{cite web |url=https://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/lighthouse/wa.htm |title=Lighthouses of the United States: Washington |author=Rowlett, Russ |date=October 19, 2014 |publisher=University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill |accessdate=May 4, 2015}} 8. ^1 {{cite news |url=http://www.lighthousedigest.com/Digest/database/uniquelighthouse.cfm?value=820 |title=Lime Kiln Light |newspaper=Lighthouse Digest |publisher=Foghorn Publishing |accessdate=May 4, 2015}} 9. ^1 {{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=78002771}} |title=National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form |publisher=National Park Service |date=November 2, 1977 |accessdate=May 4, 2015}} }} External links{{stack|{{commons category|Lime Kiln Lighthouse}}}}
