Leaning Cape Saint George Lighthouse — Tom Baird

Tom Baird photographed the Cape Saint George Lighthouse on Little Saint George Island in Franklin County, Florida, in 1998 as part of the Historic American Buildings Survey. The striking black-and-white image records the historic lighthouse leaning dramatically across a quiet coastal landscape, with the keeper's dwelling visible in the distance.

The tall masonry tower dominates the vertical composition, its pronounced angle contrasting with the broad open sky and level sandy foreground. Constructed in 1852, the lighthouse served as an aid to navigation until 1994 and was eventually lost in 2005. Baird's carefully composed architectural photograph preserves the remarkable appearance of the structure during its final years.
