Description
Looking up at the Manistee North Pierhead Lighthouse in Manistee, Michigan United States on a cloudy afternoon with a bright blue sky. The first light, built in1870 burnt in the great fire on October 8, 1871, along with the town of Manistee. Coincidentally, Manistee burnt on the same day as the Great Chicago Fire, Peshtigo Fire in Wisconsin, and fires in Port Huron and Holland, Michigan.
Two lighthouses were built, one on each pier in 1875. Over the years the lights have been moved several times, including moves to and from the mainland, and to and from the south to the north pier. Lights have been torn down and rebuilt.
The current tower is located on the north pier and is constructed of cast iron. It was first listed in 1927. The tower is a white cylinder, and the keepers house is separate. The tower has also been rebuilt as the pier has been extended. The present tower is 39 ft tall. The catwalk is one of only four that survived in the State of Michigan. It's in the National Register of Historic Places.
