We took a boat out to Raspberry Island, one of the Apostle Islands in Lake Superior. I took this shot as we were leaving... the boat was really bouncing...thank goodness for OIS. This is a double-house lighthouse. It is now unmanned. It was built in the 1840's as a single lighthouse, but the desolate and dangerous conditions led to the re-model and addition of a second light-keeper and quarters in about 1906. The oil for the light was originally kept in the basement of the house. Later the brick building was added to house the oil and later the lift equipment used to bring supplies up from the dock. There are 72 steps from the dock. The original light-keepers had a horse that was housed in the small white barn that is partially visible behind the brick building.
