Buffalo (South) Breakwater Light
By Dave Wobser

A round, steel structure on the end of a pier marking the south entrance to the Buffalo. The black base supports a white tower that is 30 feet tall topped by a white lantern room with diamond-shaped window panes. 

This entrance saw substantial traffic when the adjacent steel mill was active. The light is located on property that was the former Bethlehem Steel Company in Lackawanna, NY. The light is near the entrance to the steel mill slip.

The light can be seen from the south end of Fuhrman Street near Tift Street.
