CHICAGO HARBOR LIGHT, IL

Order No. 188

The Chicago Harbor Light was one of the first stations to be built on the Great Lakes. The original lighthouse was constructed in 1832 to mark the mouth of the Chicago River and was replaced in 1893 by a 48-foot rubblestone tower with boathouse, keepers’ quarters and fog signal. The present lighthouse sits on the breakwater and has a brick-lined round steel tower that is 18-feet in diameter. It has a 3rd order Fresnel lens. The station was automated in 1979. The tower is sandwiched between two one-story, gable roofed buildings. One is a fog signal building and the other is a former boathouse. The best view of the light is from a private boat. The light is an active aid to navigation and not open to the public.
