Round Island, Michigan
Built: 1892
Located in the lower St. Mary's River, just above Lime Island, this structure has been lovingly restored by a Charlevoix businessman, Paul Lindberg and his wife Georgeann. It was built in 1892 to help guide vessels through a group of islands in the St. Mary's River. It is a 1-1/2 story, wood frame keepers dwelling with a square wooden tower attached to the front side facing the river. The original iron hexagonal lantern room remains, but the light was moved in 1923 to a nearby skeletal tower. Privately owned, it can only be viewed by boat.
