Point Abino Light Tower

This proud beacon overlooking Lake Erie is a rare example of a reinforced concrete lighthouse built in a late neoclassical style. It was constructed in 19171918, and was in use for almost eight decades. Its elegantly tapered tower, reminiscent in its proportions of a classical column, as well as the rectangular structure housing the foghorn, are embellished with pediments and pilasters, typical features of the style adopted for this lighthouse.

Phare de la point Abino

Ce fier flambeau surplombant le lac Érié est lun des rares phares construit en béton armé à sinspirer du style néo- classique tardif. Il fut érigé en 1917-1918 et maintenu en activité pendant près de 80 ans. La tour effilée, dont les proportions rappellent une colonne classique, et labri pour la corne de brume sont agrémentés de frontons et de pilastres, motifs associés au style choisi pour ce phare.
