Breakwater Lighthouse, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Built in 1926 and located on the breakwater on the north side of the harbor, but accessible only by boat. The 56 foot tower which flashes red every 10 seconds, sits on a two story art deco building that housed the coast guard keepers until the light was automated in 1966. The 5th order Fresnel lens was taken from the nearby pier lighthouse in 1926 and is now on display at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum in Manitowoc, Wisconsin.
