The lighthouse was built in 1905 at White Point to mark the NW entrance to Indian Tickle, a passage that runs between Indian Island and the Labrador mainland. According to the Notice to Mariners, a 4th order Dioptric occulting white light, with alternate periods of 7 seconds light and 3 seconds dark was to be exhibited from a square wooden tower, with sloping sides. The light was 72 ½ feet above sea level and expect to be visible at a distance of 12 miles. The height was to be from high water to the tower base 48 feet and from tower base to vane 29 feet. A flat roofed one story dwelling and a store house was erected on the northern side of tower and was painted white.
According to the annual List of Lights, the characteristic of the light was changed to a flashing white light with a period of two seconds in 1933, and the following year, the light was listed as unwatched. In 2021, a square, skeletal tower, with a red-and-white rectangular daymark was displaying a flashing white light with a period of six seconds.
The lightkeepers were William Bradbury between 1905 and 1908 and Samuel Norman between 1909 and at least 1912.
