Rawley Point was a major threat to navigation along the west shores of Lake Michigan because the land juts sharply into the lake at this place and as a result, there has been a lighthouse at this location since 1853. In fact, the 1853 Keeper's House, without the light tower remains standing, a rectangular building with gabled and hipped roofs, measuring 39 feet by 65 feet overall. The present light tower was built in 1894 and was a reconstruction and enlargement of a lighthouse taken from the Chicago River entrance in Chicago, Illinois. (1)
