St Joseph North Pierhead Lights

This picture was taken from the pier on Silver Beach County Park in St Joseph, Michigan.  The outer pierhead light was constructed in 1906, replacing an 1859 lighthouse built on a hill overlooking the St. Joseph River.  The inner light was added midway along the pier in 1907, creating a pair of range lights.  Presently the City of St. Joseph has petitioned the National Park Service via an application to take over the working operation of the lights for public access to the light stations.
