Crown Point Light, Historic lighthouse at Crown Point, United States.
The Crown Point Light stands as an octagonal stone tower on Lake Champlain with eight Doric columns and a detailed cornice structure.
Built in 1858 and transformed in 1912, the lighthouse became a memorial to explorer Samuel de Champlain who discovered Lake Champlain in the 17th century.
A bronze sculpture next to the structure depicts Samuel de Champlain alongside a French colonist and a Huron native, representing the cultural interactions of that era.
The lighthouse ceased its navigational functions in 1926, but visitors can access the grounds and examine the memorial structure during daylight hours.
The structure underwent a complete transformation from a functional lighthouse to a commemorative monument, preserving its original brick spiral staircase within new construction.
