The Lake Light
THE LAKE LIGHT
This lighthouse, one of the earliest on the Great Lakes, was completed in 1808 as a hexagonal tower 52 feet high, topped by a wooden cage with a fixed whale-oil lantern. In 1832 it was raised to 82 feet and later equipped with a revolving light the mysterious disappearance of its first keeper, J.P. Rademuller, in 1815 and the subsequent discovery nearby of part of a human skeleton enhanced its reputation, as a haunted building.
