Point Abino Light Tower, National historic lighthouse on Lake Erie in Fort Erie, Canada.

The Point Abino Light Tower rises 30 meters above Lake Erie, featuring a white square concrete structure with red accents and a fog alarm building.

The Department of Marine and Fisheries constructed the lighthouse between 1917 and 1918 to address increasing maritime traffic following the Welland Canal completion.

The lighthouse incorporates Greek Revival architecture with pedimented windows, classical cornices, and a grand staircase leading to the entry portico.

The automated lighthouse continues to guide vessels through Lake Erie waters, operating with its original third-order Fresnel lens and specific flashing pattern.

The tower retains its integrated fog horn house and lightkeeper's room at the base, connecting maritime function with historical preservation.
