North Point Light, Milwaukee
North Point Lighthouse was built in 1888 in Lake Park on the East Side of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to mark the entrance to the Milwaukee River from Lake Michigan. After being rebuilt two more times, the current 74-foot, riveted-steel tower stands 100 feet in from the edge of the bluff and next to the Queen Anne-style light keeper's quarters. Today, it's the only lighthouse in the US built of three separate lighthouse structures... from 1855, 1888, and 1912. The US Coast Guard decommissioned the light in 1994.
