Hyannis Rear Range Light
The Hyannis Rear Range Light, also known as the Hyannis Harbor Light, was a lighthouse and, for part of its life, one of a pair of range lights adjacent to Hyannis Harbor. The Range Rear tower was built in 1849 and equipped with a 5th order Fresnel lens in 1856. In 1863 the original birdcage lantern was replaced with a new cast iron one.

The 20 foot Range Rear tower is shorter than most lighthouses, as its purpose was just to guide ships to the wharf.
