The Colchester Reef Light is a lighthouse situated on Colchester Reef in the Western Basin of Lake Erie south of the town of Colchester, Ontario. It was originally built in 1885 by Colonel William P. Anderson to replace a lightvessel that was previously stationed on that location. The original lighthouse tower was demolished in 1954 and the current structure is a white steel skeletal tower with a helicopter landing pad. It is currently listed on the Canadian List of Lights as Light No. 620 and can be found on the (Hydrographic Service ) Chart No. 2123.〔(Inland Waters – 2009 List of Lights, Buoys and Fog Signals )〕 ==Architecture== This lighthouse was one of over 500 prominent lighthouses designed and built by William P. Anderson in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Original architectural drawings from 1882 depict four floors and an attached fog bell tower accessible from the fourth floor. Two floors were designed to be finished living space for the light keeper with the lower (still existing) stone caisson used as a cellar. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Colchester Reef Light (Lake Erie, West)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
