The two-story square brick lighthouse was built in 1855, along with an attached 1+12-story brick keeper's house. Its use was discontinued in 1927 with the construction of the Mount Hope Bridge, and a replacement automated beacon across Ferry Road.[2] A ferry operated between Bristol and Aquidneck Island before the bridge was built, and the light assisted the ferry service. The Bristol Ferry Lighthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988, at which time it was a private residence.
