Chicago Harbor Lighthouse 5x7 Greeting Card by Mark Tisdale.
The artwork on this Chicago Harbor Lighthouse greeting card is based off photos from one of my trips there years ago. It features one of the historic lights from the great lakes region. From what I have read these old lighthouses are vanishing. While still a scenic and romantic subject for many of us, most lighthouses have no purpose in the modern world.
The Chicago Harbor Lighthouse was actually built for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition and later moved to its current location in 1919. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in the 1980's. It hasn't been an active lighthouse since 2005 when the Coast Guard transferred it to the City of Chicago.
I sure hope at least some of these beautiful old lighthouses survive. For their history alone it's worth preserving but they are also simply a beautiful subject, aren't they?
The image on this Chicago Harbor Lighthouse card features a beautiful day with blue skies, great clouds, and a sailboat on the waters of Lake Michigan in the foreground.
