Fisgard Lighthouse National Historic Site
Captain George Richards supported his position, recommending the construction of a lighthouse at the mouth of Esquimalt Harbour.[5]: 81 Architects John Wright and Hermann Otto Tiedemann designed the lighthouse and the picturesque gothic red brick residence adjoining it.[6] Colonial surveyor and engineer Joseph Despard Pemberton was awarded the contract for the construction of the lighthouse.[4]: 63–65 The lens, lamp apparatus and lantern room were accompanied from England by the first keeper, Mr. George Davies, in 1859.[9] A causeway from the adjacent Fort Rodd Hill National Historic Site provides access by land.
