Round Island Lighthouse
Built in 1892, to help guide vessels through a group of islands in the St. Marys River, the 1-1/2 story, wood frame keepers dwelling has a square wooden tower attached to the front side facing the river. A gabled kitchen was attached to the rear. Originally the small building was divided into four rooms on the first floor and another four under the eaves. The upper rooms were divided into two bedrooms plus a small workroom and a storage room. The original iron hexagonal lantern room remains, but the light was moved in 1923 to a nearby skeletal tower sitting on a 20 by 40-foot piece of land retained by the Coast Guard. Following the move the lighthouse was transferred to private hands. The island and lighthouse had been owned for over 30 years by a family from Maine, who had only been on the island once in all that time. Lindbergs are only the third private owners of the property.
