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 LEGO® 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 the Vermilion Lighthouse gave me another opportunity to celebrate the Lake Erie shoreline that shaped my childhood. Standing near the water at Main Street Beach, the lighthouse has become one of Vermilion’s most recognizable landmarks and a symbol of the community’s connection to the lake.
Today, 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, helping support the care and preservation of the landmarks that inspire these models. Every build you complete helps keep a small piece of Lake Erie’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.
