Grosse Point Lighthouse
Evanston, IL - Grosse Point Lighthouse - Following a series of shipwrecks off Evanston, Illinois, including one of the greatest maritime disasters on the Great Lakes, the wreck of the steamer Lady Elgin, local residents petitioned Congress for a lighthouse. Their requests were granted, but then the Civil War put everything on hold. Finally, in 1874, the light went on in Grosse Point Lighthouse. The lighthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 8, 1976.

on January 27, 2022Nice shot of the light house and the house. That's a pretty good gig if the house is included in the benefits.

on January 27, 2022What a lovely shot. And, that seems to be a grand keeper's house too. Love the red roof and the sky.
