Stonehouse, Southeast Farallon was built as the original keeper's house on the marine terrace below Tower Hill, the spot chosen for construction of the lighthousein 1853. On Southeast Farallon it was impractical to place the keeper's house at the base of the lighthouse as with construction of so many other lighthouses.
