English: Long Island Head Light is an historic lighthouse on Long Island in Boston Harbor, Boston, Massachusetts. The current brick tower is the fourth lighthouse on the island. The light was first established in 1819, and was known as "Inner Harbor Light". The current brick tower was constructed in 1900-01. The Coast Guard discontinued the light in 1982, but reconsidered the decision in 1985, and installed a modern, solar powered system. It received a major refurbishing in the summer of 1998. Long Island Head Light was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Long Island Head Light on June 15, 1987.
