A.' Im am doing research on information regarding the famous lighthouse on South Bass Island.

B. This lighthouse was built in 1897 and operated until 1962. This lighthouse stood forty-five feet tall. The first lighthouse keeper was Harry Riley (1897). The lighthouse was used to guide boats and ships along Lake Erie waters. This light house is unusual because the tower of the lighthouse is attached to the living quarters for the lighthouse keeper. It has been rumored that ghosts wander the rooms. ( as there was a mysterious death of the groundskeeper just 21 days after moving into the basement of the living quarters). Shortley after this unexplained death the lighthouse keeper Harry Riley went insane and was institutionalized. (www.deadohio..com) Mrs. Riley took charge of the lighthouse during her husbands illness. If you can add any information as to the history of this lighthouse please please respond.
