lighthouse, painted orange some years ago,
has faded to a pinkish rose color, or as the locals call it, "Nantucket
Red" or "salmon."
Unlike most cast-iron
lighthouses, Isle la Motte has no brick lining. Two ladders lead from
the base to the lantern room.
A view from the top, encompassing the
old skeleton tower.
(Thanks to David E.
Cook for providing this list in his book The Light-Keepers of
Lake Champlain. If
you have any information on the keepers of this lighthouse, I'd love to
hear from you. You can email me at firstname.lastname@example.org. Anyone copying
this list onto another web site does so at their own risk, as the list
is always subject to updates and corrections.)
John D. Reynolds (1857-1862); Ezra Pike, Jr. (1862-1871); Wilbur F.
Hill (1871-1919); William Grant (1919-1933)
