| Additional Information: | A 'site file' titled "Plum Island Life-Saving and Light Stations" exists for this property. It contains additional information such as correspondence, newspaper clippings, or historical information. It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the Wisconsin Historical Society, Division of Historic Preservation-Public History. The 1896 front range light was a square two-story wooden tower with an octagonal wooden second story topped by a black metal roof. It was nearly identical to the extant front range light at Bailey's Harbor (Wisconsin). The original tower was replaced in 1964 by the current structure. |
