GROSSE POINT LIGHT, ILLINOIS

Order No. 183

Although there had been a lighthouse established in Chicago as early as 1832, the Grosse Point Light was established in 1873 in an area more visible to the many ships carrying lumber into Chicago. The light is located on a bluff and the tower rises 113 feet. This light was deactivated in 1935. It is made of brick encased in concrete and it holds a second order Fresnel lens which was installed in 1874. The lighthouse and a museum is now owned and operated by the City of Evanston/Lighthouse Park District. It is open to the public.
