 Station Lake View Beach, Michigan Coast Guard Station #246
Keepers: George W. Plough was appointed keeper on 11 FEB 1898 and left in 1915. James Scott was appointed keeper in 1915. Was later relocated 400 feet south of the Fort Gratiot light. This station and all photos are after the station was moved to the Fort Gratiot lighthouse complex. We are trying to locate a photo of the station prior to it moving from further north. As of winter 2002 the Coast Guard is planning on building a more modern station on the grounds here. It is unknown whether the current structures will be demolished like so many others in the past or they will be spared from the wrecking ball. Only time will tell. |
