"THE LAKE LIGHT" - Ontario Provincial Plaques on Waymarking.com

This lighthouse, one of the earliest on the Great Lakes
was completed in 1808 as an hexagonal tower 52 feet high
topped by a wooden cage with a fixed whale-oil lantern.
In 1832 it was raised to 82 feet and later equipped with a
revolving light. The mysterious disappearance of its first
keeper, J. P. Rademuller in 1815 and the subsequent
discovery nearby of part of a human skeleton enhanced
its reputation as a haunted building.
