The South Haven Lighthouse is shown here in 1914 when it was painted white. The official name of the lighthouse is the South Haven South Pierhead Light. When it was constructed in 1903, part of the tower came from a discontinued lighthouse that once stood in Muskegon, Michigan. A story in The Daily Tribune dated October 14, 1903 stated, “The tower is to be of all new steel, but the cast iron steel ring on which the cupola will stand was brought from Muskegon, where it did duty for forty years on the lighthouse.” (Lighthouse Digest archives.)
