A tall white tower stands beside a low brick keeper's house, a pairing that was once common along the coasts and lake shores of the United States. Lighthouses like this one were usually built with a dwelling for the keeper and family close by, since the light had to be tended every night, in all weather, and the keeper was rarely far from the lamp. Look at how the tower's pale walls contrast with the warm red brick of the house, a color scheme chosen partly for daymark recognition so sailors could identify each station.
