Identify lighthouse in old photograph

[marty39]

The attached photo was cropped from a scan of an old print that was probably taken in the 1950s on the Atlantic coast of the US somewhere between New Jersey and Massachusetts. If anyone can identify the lighthouse I'll know where the photograph was taken. Sorry about the poor quality; it's the best I could get from a bad print.

Quality really poor. I can't understand even shape of the tower, if it is rectangular or round
It seems it was somewhere by the beach, such towers often were destroyed due to erosion.
Will try to search something similar...
