I want to share some information about fundraising for the Lorain Lighthouse and how money is spent.

"We raise money through our tours, Sunset Dinners, Trees and Trains, online and Lighthouse gift shop sales and donations. It's important to mention that all tours, dinners, online sales and maintenance are done by volunteers.

The money raised pays for things like insurance (like homeowners but really expensive), the electric bill (providing the beautiful lighting as you drive by at night, keeping it in clear view for boaters and freighter, heat, internal lights and ceiling fans), supplies to repair and maintain a safe and clean environment inside and out, our toilet system and the exterminator for spiders and other bugs.

It takes a village to keep The Jewel of the Port open to the public. We appreciate each and every one of you who contributes by donations and purchasing tickets. Thank you!"

This house seems to have two front doors. 

I'm thinking that one is for the lighthouse keepers apartment and the other unit is for the assistants keepers apartment.

One of the most haunted lighthouses on the Great Lakes? That's the claim. A handsome portrait of the fully restored Seul Choix Point Lighthouse Museum near Gulliver, MI on Lake Michigan - Photo courtesy of the Seul Choix Point Lighthouse Museum
