Replaced range lights constructed in 1891 and located on the same pier. The fifth order fresnel lens (pronounced [freɪ'nel] ) came from the original front range light.

The lighthouse looks nearly identical to the Holland Harbor Lighthouse, except white. [ [http://lighthouse.boatnerd.com/gallery/Michigan/holland.htm Wobser, David, boatnerd.com, Holland Harbor Light.] ]
