Ridges Sanctuary, Baileys Harbor Wisconsin
Looks like an old school house, but it’s not a school house. It’s a light house.
The Upper Range Light is one of two range lights on the Ridges Sanctuary property in Door County. Built in 1869 at a cost of $6,000, they were state of the art beacons for ships traveling the upper parts of Lake Michigan in the late 19th Century.
Wonderful composition.

What a wonderful building! I would not have guess it was a lighthouse. It’s so nice to see it in that condition!

Typifies exactly what I loved about Wisconsin – some of the most beautiful and unique architecture…at least to me, anyway. What a beautiful lighthouse. It looks like some of our older, white, simple Southern churches. But prettier. Lovely photo, Bo.
