A couple of notes on the provided facts: Michigan City is in Indiana, not Illinois, and the tower height appears to be missing. Here’s the description using corrected location info:

Old Michigan City Light

Built in 1837, Old Michigan City Light is one of the oldest surviving lighthouses on the southern shore of Lake Michigan. Originally constructed to guide vessels into the busy Michigan City harbor, the lighthouse served for decades before being decommissioned. The attached keeper’s dwelling adds historic charm to the brick tower. The lighthouse is not active and is currently closed to public access, so visitors cannot climb the tower. The best photography opportunities come during golden hour, when warm light plays off the weathered brick against Lake Michigan’s backdrop. Nearby, visitors can explore Washington Park, the Michigan City pier, and the Indiana Dunes National Park just minutes away.
