Description
Built by the federal government in 1866, the Kenosha Lighthouse was originally designated a coast and harbor light for Southport, now Kenosha, Wisconsin. It provided the first navigational illumination a mariner would see upon entering Wisconsin from the Chicago area. Standing 55 feet (17 m) tall and situated on a hill, the lighthouse projected light from 74 feet (23 m) above lake level. The tower is built of yellow Milwaukee Cream City brick and is conical in shape. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1990, the lighthouse has been restored and holds an automated electric light.

great abstract David.
David T Wilkinson replied:
Thanks, Curtis. While I liked some of my images of the whole lighthouse, this abstract may have been my favorite.
