Ile Parisienne Light
The Ile Parisienne Light was built in 1911 on the southern tip of remote Ile Parisienne in the middle of Whitefish Bay on Lake Superior on a major shipping lane for ingress/egress to the Soo Locks. The lighthouse keeper's life at the remote light was lonely and perilous. It is now a well known landmark to shipping traffic and pleasure craft. The light is automated and remains seasonally active.
==Construction==
The Ile Parisienne Light Station was established on the southern tip of the Ile Parisienne〔Ile Parisienne Land Use Policy, 1.〕 in 1911 after construction of the Soo Locks increased upper Great Lakes shipping traffic and the need for navigational aids.〔Canada's Register of Historic Places.〕 The white tower is a well known landmark to lake traffic and pleasure craft. The tower's cast-in place concrete, hexagonal structure was built with 6 tapered exterior wall buttresses, flared ribs at the platform, a gable roofed entrance, small windows, and a prominent, 10-sided, red lantern topped with a beaver weathervane.〔〔Boatnerd.〕 It is considered a good example of early modern, functional design.〔
