Fun Fact; The original wooden Front and Rear Ranges were demolished in 1914. The Front Range was replaced by an iron mast, and again in 1968 with a D9 style steel cylinder. The new Rear Range is a riveted steel plate conical design that is one of the tallest, if not the tallest, lighthouses of this type on the Great Lakes.
