Current sources show this lighthouse no longer stands. Status check, 2026-11: The original 1880 front light, a wooden 'pepperpot' tower, is gone. Only its base remains, and a modern skeletal tower built around 1980 on that base now holds the Tinicum and Mifflin range lights. The historic 1880 lighthouse that still stands at this station is the 85-ft Tinicum Rear Range Light, not this one. It stands at 39.8478° N, 75.2527° W.
