This splendid vintage turn-of-the-century mansion features old
world elegance, grace and charm! Port City Victorian Inn is located
off the bluff of Muskegon Lake - just minutes from the downtown
business district and Lake Michigan.
In 1851, the first light at Muskegon was constructed on shore,
and consisted of a keepers dwelling with an integrated roof-mounted
tower.
With the Army Corps of Engineers completion of the harbor pier in
1902, the decision was made to replace this shore light with a new
light at the end of the pier, with work completed the following
year. The fifty-three foot steel tower was equipped with a Fourth
Order Fresnel lens manufactured by Sautter & Cie, of Paris.
