Grosse Point Lighthouse

SKU: 5759

From 1873 to 1941, the stunning Grosse Point Lighthouse guided ships past the dangerous shoals off Grosse Point in Evanston Illinois to the busiest port on the Great Lakes at Chicago Harbor. It was built in 1873, after 28 shipwrecks near its location on The Great Lakes. The most renown shipwrecks was the 'Lady Elgin' in 1860, which was a vessel headed from Milwaukee to Chicago that killed over 300 people. At 113 feet, it is one of the tallest lighthouses on Lake Michigan. It was designed by Orlando Metcalfe Poe, who designed some of the most beautiful lighthouses in America on The Great Lakes. Some of Poe's lighthouses are reminiscent of elaborately decorated "chess pieces" with all the frills! He also designed the Wind Point Light in Racine, Wisconsin, about an hour away in addition to other Great Lake Lighthouses.
