About the Light:

  With the construction of the Toledo Harbor light in 1904, this light was declared redundant and abandoned. Today, all that remains is the shell of the light's tower The lantern room and light are long gone, and this brick structure is suffering from the elements. The site is on an island and is accessed only by use of a boat.
