My home town is Milwaukee (Glendale) Wi.
and this lighthouse sure looks familiar.
It is at the end of a golf course in Lake
Park off Lake Shore Drive area, an area
of really nice big old homes. There is a
bridge over a ravine guarded by stone
lions. It is too bad this park, like
others in Milwaukee, is now suffering
from vandalism. I sure hope the
Lighthouse has not suffered, as I have
not been there in about l0 years. Your
attached write-up mentions the light is
at the entrance of the Milwaukee River into Lake
Michigan. I think the river is quite a
ways south of there. The light was put there
because this was one of the highest
points along the lake's shore in town.
Milwaukee is famous for its city parks,
which were designed by Olmstead, who did
Central Park in New York City. If you
come this way to see this light, don't
forget to go south a bit into Racine to
see stately Wind Point, which is on the
lake to the north of Racine; and into
Kenosha also for lights.
