HTMLText_308E6DC8_4AFA_C918_41CC_1F5ADA4EC791.html = Memorial to an 1848 Brick Lighthouse
This brick structure at Cape Canaveral, Florida, is known only from buried brick ruins, a few National Archives photos, historic maps and other meager records. The original tower stood 65 ft. tall, was not high enough to provide adequate light and warning to ships. A taller, iron structure was built next to it in 1868. In 1893 the iron tower began to be disassembled and the brick tower was destroyed with materials to be reused in the reconstruction and moving of the iron tower to a new (present-day) location that was better protected inland from beach erosion. The new site was operational by 1894. What remained of the foundation footing for the 1868 iron tower and the dispersed brick ruins of the c.1847-48 tower are all that remain at the old lightstations. Our archaeological work re-discovered the ruins and laser scanning of the site and this monument was performed. This nearby memorial was made by an Eagle Scout from a local scout troop in 2002 using scavenged bricks from the original lighthouse.

Launch Complex 18 Blockhouse
The blockhouse at LC 18 was built in 1957 to serve as the launch control station for both Pad A and Pad B. The original blockhouse with a V-shaped east side is nearly identical to the blockhouses at LC 5/6 and LC 26 that were constructed in 1955-1956. There were several modifications to the LC 18 blockhouse that were made circa 1958. These additions, including earthen terrain used as hardened structural protection transformed the blockhouse into one unlike any other at Cape Canaveral. Shown adjacent to the blockhouse is the Electrical Switch Station structure, Facility 24448.
Launch Complex 18 Storage Building
Storage Building, Facility 24450 at Launch Complex 18 (8BR2939). This 18.3 x 12.5 m (60 x 41 ft) structure built in 1957, followed the same construction methods as Facility 24448. Windows and doors have been modified and upgraded since its original construction. This facility was originally identified as a shop building where mechanical repairs for the launch complex were performed. Although currently classified as a storage building, it has been used as a demineralized water pump station used in the manufacture this liquid for use in the reactors of nuclear submarines at Trident Wharf, the Navy Port at Port Canaveral. The structure is currently vacant.
Launch Pad 18B
One of two pads associated with Launch Complex 18 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Brevard County, Florida. Pad 18A was famously used to launch 14 Vanguard space vehicles between 1956 and 1959. Pad B, shown here, was used to test Thor tactical launch equipment. Part of a terrestrial laser scanning survey of Launch Complex 18, conducted for heritage preservation and historic resource management by the Center for Digital Heritage and Geospatial Information at USF.
