Current sources show this lighthouse no longer stands. Status check, 2026-11: In June 2019 the Coast Guard rearranged this range. A new skeletal rear-range tower went up on roughly the old front-light site in the river, and a new front light was built upstream. So this structure no longer exists as the Marcus Hook front light. Sources also disagree on when the original tower went up (1915 temporary light, then 1918 or 1925). It stands at 39.7761° N, 75.4753° W.
