Lighthouse, built 1871
"The Lighthouse was located a mile off Colchester Point in Lake Champlain, marking the location of three reefs. The building was designed in 1869 by Andrew Dow, a Burlington, Vermont, Resident, who submitted his plan in a contest organized by the United States Lighthouse Service. A series of eleven keepers and their families lived and worked in the lighthouse until 1933, when the beacon light was automated, eliminating the need for resident keepers."
