Milwaukee lighthouse comes back to life
(2007-11-19)
John Scripp stands inside restored keeper's quarters. He's about to hang a painting of North Point Lighthouse.
(wuwm) - The lighthouse and adjacent keeper's quarters slowly deteriorated over the years, but now volunteers have brought them back to life. WUWM's Susan Bence slipped in for a sneak preview as finishing touches were being applied to both house and lighthouse.

Lighthouse enthusiasts probably know, the original lighthouse, built of cream city brick, guided ships into Milwaukee's harbor more than 30 years before it was replaced by the now-restored North Point Lighthouse.
