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 Tybee Island Lighthouse allowed me to make one of the South’s most recognizable coastal landmarks accessible to even more builders. With 104 pieces, it’s a quick and approachable build that still captures the unmistakable character of the original lighthouse.

The history of the Tybee Island Light Station dates back to 1736, when the first lighthouse structure was established near the mouth of the Savannah River. Much of the base of today’s tower dates to 1773, with the upper portion added in 1867. Its bold black-and-white daymark makes it instantly recognizable from both land and sea.

Today, the Tybee Island Historical Society preserves and operates the light station and museum. The site retains its historic tower, keeper’s cottages, and support buildings, making it one of the most complete historic light stations in the country.

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 America’s coastal 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.
