1875 - A tramway was built linking the boathouse with the fog signal building.
1880 - The fog bell and striking machinery were transferred to Point No-Point.
1884 - A Haines mineral oil (kerosene) lamp replaced the original lard oil lamp.
1894 - The boathouse and ways were rebuilt about 1,000 feet west of the original site because of silting around the ways. A separate iron oil house for kerosene storage was built and still exists today.
1904/5 - An additional Keeper's dwelling was built to provide housing for the Head Keeper and his family.
1905/6 - A new boathouse was constructed on a new wharf located just east of the previous boathouse and ways. The tower building was remodeled by adding a wing to the north, converting it to a duplex and walling off the doorways leading from the vestibule.
1906/7 - A new fog signal building was constructed north of the head Keeper's dwelling. It was equipped with two 25-horsepower oil engines and 6-inch air sirens.
1908 - A coal and oil storage building was erected near the new fog signal.
1911- The Haines mineral oil lamp was replaced by an Incandescent Oil Vapor lamp.
1914 - The light was made occulting by installing a mechanism to obscure the light in a regular pattern, giving it a unique characteristic to distinguish it from nearby lights.
