Description
A top finisher in "Lighthouse" contest in "1000 Views" group.
Pierhead Lighthouse,Kenosha Wisconsin is listed in the national register of historic places as the Kenosha light station reference #9000095.
It is now privately owned.
This light is a red conical tower consisting of riveted steel plates. It was originally equipped with a Fourth Order Fresnel lens. It sits at the end of a ribbed-steel-reinforced pier leading into Kenosha's harbor.
While there had been a light at the end of Kenosha's north pier since 1848, with improvements made as part of the Army Corps of Engineers harbor improvements begun in 1899, a skeletal wooden light, typical of the type constructed on piers throughout the Great Lakes, was built at the Pier's end.
