At the end of an unassuming concrete pier in Port Dalhousie stands a 45 foot tapered tower style Lake Ontario lighthouse. Contructed in 1880 to mark the harbor entrance, the square wooden structure is topped with a bracketed platform and original octagonal metal latern.
Used as a navigational age during the lake’s steamship era, the light has been automated since 1968. While currently clad in aluminum siding, which obscures its weatherboard exterior and windows, hopefully one day it will be restored to its original appearance.
