1933: Tommy Mulligan, the Lighthouse Cat of Norton’s Point on Coney Island » ConeyBirdsEye1880
In this bird’s-eye view of Coney Island from 1880, you can see that Norton’s Point was still very much barren. The tall structure mid-island is the 300-foot tall Iron Tower, a structure from the 1876 Philadelphia Expo that had steam elevators that whisked visitors to the top for a high view of Coney Island.
