The second and current lighthouse was built from 1871-1874 and stands at 165 ft tall.

🇺🇸During World War II, the United States Coast Guard was in the Department of the Navy and the men and women, called SPARS, wore a navy uniform. At the Light Station in St. Augustine, Florida, men kept watch at the top and lived in a small barracks building on the Lighthouse property. Anastasia Islanders lived in black out conditions, as U-boats patrolled the coast.

📸: Photos show the U.S. Coast Guard Barracks during World War II and today. View artifacts in a WWII exhibit in the building, which is included in admission at the St. Augustine Lighthouse & Maritime Museum.
