A couple of notes on the provided facts:

– Gary is in Indiana, not Illinois. I’ll use the correct state.
– Tower height is blank — I’ll omit specific height rather than guess.

Here’s the description:

Gary Harbor Breakwater Light

Standing guard over Lake Michigan since 1911, the Gary Harbor Breakwater Light marks the entrance to Gary Harbor in northwest Indiana. Built to guide commercial vessels serving the region’s booming steel industry, this cylindrical steel tower remains an active navigational aid maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard. Its industrial-era origins and lakefront setting make it a distinctive piece of Great Lakes maritime heritage. The lighthouse is not open to the public and cannot be climbed, but it photographs beautifully from the Gary harbor shoreline, especially during golden hour when warm light contrasts against the steel-gray lake. Nearby, visitors can explore Indiana Dunes National Park, Marquette Park beach, and the Miller Beach arts district.
