It was built in 1854, in the Civil War era, making it the 8th oldest of the 30 in Florida with a recorded construction date; it was deactivated in 1915.
Status check, 2026-11: The light on Seahorse Key was first lit in 1854 and taken out of service in 1915, and the building now houses University of Florida marine lab staff. Wikipedia lists the tower at 28 ft, while USLHS gives 18 ft from the base to the lantern center, so the height is left null. It stands at 29.0965° N, 83.0653° W.
