Holland Harbor Light (Big Red)

Big Red was, surprisingly, big. And red. The Holland Harbor Light is located at the entrance of a channel connecting Lake Michigan with Lake Macatawa in Holland, Michigan. The lighthouse featured a fog horn powered by two, coal-fed Marine boilers. Unlike many lighthouses, it was not placed on legs. The upper level is Queen Anne Victorian in style. Originally, both the steel tower and the fog signal building were painted pale yellow with a deep maroon base. In 1956, however, the Coast Guard painted it bright red.
