During repairs in 1928 to fix storm damage, the light was rebuilt to run off electrical power. It continued in operation until 1969, when it was replaced with a steel tower. The older building was saved, however, and in 1975 the house portion was donated to the Rogers Street
Fishing Village, a museum encompassing the old coast guard lifesaving station. The old building now stands on a platform similar to its original foundation, though it is now surrounded by a raised walkway. Unfortunately during the move the lens was broken, but a 2006 grant provided funds for its repair and restoration, and it was returned to display in 2009.
