This tower at Copt Point is the remaining one of a pair that were constructed in the 1920s to support the crane that was used to build the (now disused) sewage chamber just beyond it. Not as romantic an origin as it might have - but it's a good landmark :-)
Sand Point Lighthouse on Little Bay de Noc in Escanaba on the south shore of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Built in 1867, it was used as a lighthouse until about 1940 and then remodeled as a Coast Guard residence after that. Delta County took over the building in the 1980s, completed a restoration and opened the lighthouse back to the public in 1990. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
