Grand Island North Light, Lighthouse in Alger County, Michigan, US.

The Grand Island North Light features a two-story rectangular brick building with a three-story light tower and a one-story kitchen addition.

Constructed in 1867, the lighthouse served maritime navigation needs until 1961 when it was retired from active service after automation of its systems.

The structure represents nineteenth-century American lighthouse architecture and maintains its original yellow, white, and black color scheme on Lake Superior's shore.

The lighthouse location requires boat transportation to access, as it stands on the northern end of Grand Island near Munising, Michigan.

The station includes four supplementary structures: a tool shed, a fuel storage shed, an outhouse, and a wooden well-house that complement the main building.

Location: Alger County

Inception: 1867
