This light, among the last to be established of the major lights in the Puget Sound Straits area, makes an Eastern Point on Hard Strait, an important shipping lane. The Light was established in 1914 and the present structures were built subsequent to 1917. Because of the inherent difficulties of bringing a reliable source of electric power to the site, this light continued using IOV as the illuminant until after WWII.

San Juan Lime Company contains evidence of the lime rock, the structures, and the technology involved in the quarrying, processing, packing and shipping of lime products during 1860-1935. Remnants consist of three standing structures — two kilns and a water heater — and sixteen sites, which include remains of a boarding/cook house, barn, stable, cooperage, blacksmith shop, office, housing, wharf, warehouses and other structures. Quarries and a system of roads and trackage that transported the supply of limestone to the processing areas also remain. Beginning in 1860, the San Juan Lime Company conducted operations at the site until 1886, when Henry Cowell purchased it.
