McGulpin Point Scrapbook

A man lift was delivered to the lighthouse site by Moran Ironworks on Friday April 17, in preparation for installation of the new lantern the following week. The empty foundation by the man lift was the site of an old Bell Telephone switching building which was removed from the property by the prior owners for use elsewhere. The roof in the immediate foreground is a combination garage and apartment which had been constructed some time in the past 30 years. It is currently occupied by an Emmet County Sherriff Deputy who helps provide security on site. Plans call for the eventual relocation of the building across the road to a parcel of property which Emmet County purchased in 2009.
