Title
Point Aux Barques. Light. Not at the point
Photographer
Likely, Mark Jefferson
Description
The Point Aux Barques Lighthouse in Michigan. One of the oldest operating lighthouses on the Great Lakes, the lighthouse tower was constructed in 1857 from brick and the frame construction keeper's house. A light saving station was added to the site in 1875. Picture showing the lighthouse, the keeper's house to the right, and the life saving station to the right of that. It appears to be very windy because the trees are blowing in the wind. The shoreline is rocky and grass grows along the banks.
