My Ass't Keeper Sue (who keeps a wary eye on my collection's growth into her space} would have Big Sable high on her list of favorites. As a kid her family camped at the Ludington State Park nearby many times and she also walked to the lighthouse. I believe she mentioned that before it was well cared for she noticed that someone was even building fires in the basement of the keeper's dwelling. We could have lost it! Nowadays, we enjoy abserving it from our boat
offshore in beautiful Lake Michigan.

Did your Hudson-Athens come thru as the missing rail variation? I agree it's a great looking light done in the French mansard style with a castle-like tower and all featured on an impressive base.
