About
The historic Grosse Point Light is located in Evanston, Illinois. Following several shipping disasters near Evanston, residents successfully lobbied the federal government for a lighthouse. Construction was completed in 1873. The lighthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 8, 1976.[14] On 20 January 1999, the lighthouse was designated a National Historic Landmark.[15] It is maintained under the jurisdiction of the Evanston Lighthouse Park District, an independent taxing authority.[3][16][17]
