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.
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!"

Poplar Point Lighthouse history
The Poplar Point Lighthouse in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, has a rich history dating back to 1831. Here's a brief overview:
# Key Events
1. *Construction and Lighting*: Built with a stone keeper's dwelling and a wooden tower, the lighthouse was first lit in 1831 with eight Argand lamps and reflectors.
2. *Upgrades*: In 1855, the lamps were replaced with a sixth-order steamer lens.
3. *Deactivation*: The light was deactivated in 1882 and replaced by the Wickford Harbor Light.
4. *Private Ownership*: The lighthouse was sold at auction in 1894 to Albert R. Sherman and has since undergone changes under subsequent owners.
5. *Historic Recognition*: It's the oldest surviving wooden lighthouse tower in the US and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
The Poplar Point Lighthouse holds significant historical value, and its preservation is a testament to its importance in maritime history.
Some lighthouses feature a fog horn along with their beacon. Wind Point is one that is located on Wisconsin lake Michigan shore.
The Wind Point Lighthouse in Racine, WI, has a historic foghorn system that once used steam-powered compressed air to project a powerful sound warning ships of danger in foggy conditions. The original foghorns, mounted in the Foghorn Building, are still visible today, though they were silenced by the Coast Guard in 1965. The foghorn system was designed to be heard up to 10 miles out on Lake Michigan.
The Wind Point Lighthouse is a local tourist attraction in Racine, Wisconsin.

Lake Light. Rawley Point Lighthouse.
Manitowoc County, WI.
A major feature of Point Beach is Rawley Point and the lighthouse operated by the U.S. Coast Guard. The Coast Guard has operated a lighthouse here since 1853.
The first lighthouse was a brick tower and home that served mariners until 1894, when a new steel tower was installed.
The light is atop this steel tower that rises 113 feet above the lake surface and is one of the largest and brightest on the Great Lakes. It is visible up to 19 miles away and operates from a half hour before sunset until a half hour after sunrise.
Lighthouse staircases are typically spiral staircases that wind their way up the interior of the tower. They are often constructed of iron, and can feature numerous landings for resting. The number of steps can vary greatly, with some lighthouses having over 200 steps.
