Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox lighthouse
The Beaver Head Light is located high on a bluff on the southern tip of Beaver Island. Boats trying to navigate North on Lake Michigan need to carefully work their way between Beaver Island and Gray's Reef.
The Шаблон:Convert cylindrical tower was built in 1858, to replace an 1852 tower. The decagonal lantern room offers panoramic vistas of the Lake. The tower is open to the public from 8:00 a.m. though 9:00 p.m. during the summer.
In 1866, the attached yellow brick lighthouse keeper's dwelling was constructed. A frame addition was added to the keepers quarters to accommodate assistant keepers.[1]
In 1915, the Шаблон:Convert fog signal building was constructed. Other outbuildings on the grounds including an oil house, garage and storage building and outhouse.
A radio beacon was placed in 1962, at which time the station was decommissioned and declared surplus.[2] That same year, the original Fourth Order Fresnel lens was removed and placed in the dwelling, where it can still be seen.[1]
In 1975, the Charlevoix Public Schools purchased the site for $1.00. After some vandalism was incurred, in 1978 the District founded an alternative school for youth aged 16–21.[2] The school district has operated an Environmental and Vocational Educational Center in the keepers dwelling. Maintenance and restoration of the structure is part of the curriculum.[1] Beginning in 1978, recurrent summer work/study programs greatly restored the station, which was then opened as a school.[3]
In 2003, a grant was obtained to repair spalling of the exterior brick work on the fog signal building.[4] A state grant awarded two years later provided $23,000 for oil house restoration.[3]
The light station is listed on National Register of Historic Places (reference #78001495). It is also on the State List/Inventory.[2]
