Bois Blanc Island Lighthouse and Blockhouse information


Bois Blanc Island Lighthouse
The top half of the background is mostly clear sky, the lower part consisting of a forest. Above the forest canopy rises a cylindrical white tower tapered to its peak, with a base sitting on a grassy field. Two small windows are visible, one roughly at one-third the height of the tower on the right, the other two-thirds up on the left. A cornice in three steps tops the building. Just below the cornice, the tower exhibits some weathering damage in patches.
Circa 1919
