"For Sale: Historic waterfront property with a spectacular 50-foot-high view of Lake Michigan. Featuring solid, century-old cast-iron construction pained distinctive red. Comes with its own Fresnel lens for signaling ships." The advertisement is for the North Pierhead Lighthouse in Kenosha, Wisconsin, one of many lighthouses being made available under the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act of 2000. That's according to Steve Vogel with the Washington Post.
