August 29, 2010 By BILL BLEYER  bill.bleyer@newsday.com

The federal government has sold the Latimer Reef Lighthouse in Fishers Island Sound to the highest bidder for $225,000.

The buyer was not identified by the federal General Services Administration, which conducted an online auction for the active navigation beacon that had been declared surplus to reduce the Coast Guard's maintenance load.

The Fishers Island Library wants your opinion!
