About Me

Hi, I’m Matt Jenkins from Dublin, Ohio.

I grew up along the shores of Lake Erie in Lorain and Huron, where lighthouses were always part of the landscape. Those early memories sparked a lifelong appreciation for these remarkable landmarks and the communities they represent.

As an adult, I rediscovered my love for LEGO building after my parents returned a box of my childhood bricks. Looking for a fun challenge, I designed a miniature Ohio Stadium on a 16×16 LEGO plate. I shared it online, and in 2015 my designs were featured on ESPN’s Big Ten Blog. What started as a single model quickly grew into hundreds of custom designs.

Today, more than 12,000 orders later, I still personally design every model using BrickLink Studio before building, testing, and creating the printed instructions by hand. Every Block Lighthouses model is constructed with genuine LEGO® bricks and reflects countless hours of design and refinement.

Creating this smaller version of the Holland Harbor Lighthouse allowed me to make one of the Great Lakes’ most recognizable landmarks accessible to even more builders. With only 61 pieces, it’s a quick and approachable build that still captures the unmistakable character of Big Red.

The current Holland Harbor Lighthouse was built in 1907 and stands at the entrance to the channel connecting Lake Michigan and Lake Macatawa. Its vibrant red exterior and Dutch-inspired design have made it a beloved symbol of Holland and one of Michigan’s most photographed lighthouses.

One of my favorite family traditions is visiting lighthouses with my wife and our three daughters. My daughters like to tease me that I’m in my “Lighthouse Era,” but they’ve also seen how meaningful this project has become. Block Lighthouses is more than a business—it’s a way to celebrate these incredible landmarks and help preserve them for future generations.

That’s why a portion of every sale is donated to local lighthouse preservation organizations. Every build you complete helps keep a small piece of Great Lakes heritage shining for years to come.

Thank you for supporting a small family business and helping preserve America’s lighthouse heritage—one brick at a time.
