I. W. P. Lewis

Isaiah William Penn Lewis (1808 in Boston, Massachusetts – October 1855 in Boston, Massachusetts) was an American lighthouse designer, builder, and engineer.

He was a nephew of Winslow Lewis, and was often critical of his uncle's work.[1]

I.W.P. Lewis traveled to Europe to study European lighthouse design, and incorporated the lessons he learned into his work. He built a handful of pile lighthouses, most of which were in the Florida Keys.

In 1843 he made a report to Congress on the lighthouses in the country.[2]
