Description

A square, two story red brick building sits on a grassy lawn. A wide brick arch marks the entry to the front door.

Devils Island Light Station landscape. The Keeper's dwellings at Devils Island were the most spacious in the Apostle Islands. They share a pattern used for a number of keeper's dwellings built during the 1890s; yet, in true Victorian fashion, the finishing details give each structure an individualistic feel. The size of the buildings also reflect the hierarchical status of employees within the Lighthouse service. This building was altered with the addition of a second story dormer that was built to accommodate a bathroom.
