A few weeks ago, I titled a blog post “A Unique Square
Lighthouse.” The bottom half of that
lighthouse was square but the top of the tower was round. At the time of
the posting, I didn’t realize how inaccurate the title until conversing with a friend about the post.
The lighthouse I’m featuring in this post is more suited to
the name square lighthouse. Although it is not square like twelve by twelve, the entire
tower of the Frankfort Lighthouse is square shaped as opposed to round like
most lighthouse towers.
The Frankfort North Breakwater Lighthouse is located on Lake
Michigan at Frankfort, MI. The original lighthouse, made of wood, was built in 1873
at the south pier. This lighthouse, built in 1932, stands 67 feet high and made
of steel. It is one of the newer lighthouses on Lake MI. Its lantern room
houses a fourth order Fresnel lens which can be seen for 12 miles out on the
lake during clear weather.
