Presque Isle Light - Pennsylvania

The Presque Isle light tower was rebuilt in 1867, and in 1870 the Lighthouse Board changed the name of the station to Erie Light Station. The reason for the change, apparently, was the desire to build a lighthouse on the north shore of the peninsula forming Erie Harbor - the peninsula now comprising Presque Isle State Park. This new lighthouse, with its fourth-order lens fifty-seven feet above the lake, went into service on July 12, 1873, and became the Presque Isle Light Station.
