The first light used was a kerosene lamp. As 1879 drew to a close, the lens and glass for the lantern had not arrived, so the first lighthouse keeper, J.S. Maggs, a Seattle dentist, hung a canvas over the south window openings to break the wind and keep the kerosene lamp from blowing out.[5][8] Upon completion of the light station in February 1880, the lantern room held a fifth-order Fresnel lens. The original masonry structure was {{convert|27|ft}} high. The present {{convert|30|ft|adj=on}} brick and stucco tower is square and situated between the office and fog signal building. A fog signal, formerly used at New Dungeness Lighthouse, was installed in April 1880.[10] In 1900, the fog bell was replaced by a Daboll trumpet. With no roads to the lighthouse for its first 40 years, supplies had to be brought in by boat.[5] In 1898, the original lens was replaced with a fourth-order fresnel lens, which is still in place although it is no longer in use.[10] Popular history holds that when lightning struck in 1931, it caused the lens to crack. However, according to McClary, records indicate "the damage occurred when a faulty oil vaporizer tube allowed explosive vapors to build up in the light chamber."[5] The tower was also damaged which required patching and replacing the copper tubing. In 1975, a {{convert|90|ft|adj=on}} radar tower was built on the west side of the lighthouse. The tower is used for the Vessel Traffic Service (VTS). In 1977, the lighthouse became fully automated and only required one man to be assigned to the station. The Coast Guard replaced the light in 2006 with a low-maintenance, post-mounted, rotating beacon.[5]
In 1997, the last Coast Guard personnel left Point No Point and it stood empty until it was leased to Kitsap County Parks and Recreation. The county purchased adjoining parcels and created {{convert|60|acre|adj=on}} Point No Point Lighthouse and Park.[2][23] In 2012, the Department of the Interior announced the transfer of ownership of the lighthouse to Kitsap County.[24] Since 2008, the station's keeper's quarters has been the national headquarters of the United States Lighthouse Society, a nonprofit preservation and educational organization.[25] References1. ^{{cite gnis|1510000|Point No Point Light}} [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]2. ^{{NRISref|version=2010a}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.cr.nps.gov/maritime/light/ptnopt.htm |title=Point No Point Light |work=Inventory of Historic Light Stations: Washington Lighthouses |publisher=National Park Service |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20040418215730/http://www.cr.nps.gov/maritime/light/ptnopt.htm |archivedate=April 18, 2004 |accessdate=May 12, 2015}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=78002758}} |title=National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form |publisher=National Park Service |date=August 10, 1978 |accessdate=May 12, 2015}} 5. ^1 {{cite pressrelease |url=http://www.nps.gov/news/release.htm?id=1360 |title=Secretary Salazar Announces Transfer of Lighthouses in Washington and Michigan to Local Ownership |publisher=National Park Service |date=July 18, 2012 |accessdate=May 12, 2015}} 6. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.kitsapgov.com/parks/Parks/Pages/regionalparks/point_no_point.htm |title=Point No Point Lighthouse and Park |publisher=Kitsap County |accessdate=May 12, 2015}} 7. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 {{cite web |url=http://www.historylink.org/index.cfm?DisplayPage=output.cfm&File_Id=5636 |title=Point No Point Light Station |publisher=HistoryLink |work=The Online Encyclopedia of Washington State History |first=Daryl C. |last=McClary |date=January 15, 2004 |accessdate=May 12, 2015}} 8. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web |url=http://www.lighthousefriends.com/light.asp?ID=110 |title=Point No Point, WA |publisher=Lighthousefriends |accessdate=May 12, 2015}} 9. ^1 2 3 {{cite web |url=http://www.pnplighthouse.com/History.html |title=History: The light station is established |publisher=Friends of Point No Point Lighthouse |accessdate=May 12, 2015}} 10. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://uslhs.org/about/society-history |title=Society History |publisher=United States Lighthouse Society |accessdate=May 12, 2015}} 11. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=https://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/lighthouse/wa.htm |title=Lighthouses of the United States: Washington |authorlink=Russ Rowlett |date=October 19, 2014 |last1=Rowlett |first1=Russ |work=The Lighthouse Directory |publisher=University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill |accessdate=May 7, 2015}} }} More reading
