RE: The Grosse Point Light

in Photo-essay2 months ago

Nice photos 👍 I like the shot of the light house behind what I presume was the keepers house - looks like the light house is part of the house. I like the beach shot also. Here's a little known fact about me that even you probably don't know. I worked in real estate for awhile. I thought of it because I had lunch in Grosse Point once on a trip to Detroit.

I didn't know that! 😂
The city of Grosse Point is in Michigan. The lighthouse is in Evanston IL. No answers to why that is!
Glad you liked the photos. The house with the two front doors was the keepers house. At the peak of operation there was a principal keeper, 2 secondary keepers and a day laborer. Staff was reduced after it was electrified.

🤦 I was way off... I was thinking oh no I got the wrong Great Lake. Then I visited my smartie pants friend google and Grosse Pointe, Michigan isn't even on a Great Lake 🙄 its on Lake St Clair. I promise I actually read what people write in their posts lol Shame on me.

It was confusing me, too!
