Old Round Island Point Lighthouse - Michigan

The Round Island Light, also known as the "Old Round Island Point Lighthouse", is a lighthouse located on the west shore of Round Island in the shipping lanes of the Straits of Mackinac, which connect Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. Because of its color scheme and form — red stone base and wood tower — it has been likened to an old-fashioned schoolhouse. Ferries regularly pass it on their way to and from Mackinac Island, and it is a recognizable icon of the upper Great Lakes. This light is a twin of the Two Harbors Light in Minnesota. The Round Island Light was built of painted brick in 1895 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in September 1974.
