West Bank Light, officially West Bank Front Range Light,[1] is a lighthouse in Lower New York Bay, within New York City, and acts as the front range light for the Ambrose Channel.[1][2][3] It is currently active and not open to the public. The tower was built in 1901 and heightened in 1908. Staten Island Light serves as the rear range light.
