Notes:
This lighthouse replaced the 1839 Root River Lighthouse, discontinued in 1865. The Racine Harbor Light was itself replaced by the Racine North Breakwater Light in 1901. The dwelling (minus the lantern room) was extensively altered in 1903 and in 1939 was integrated into the Racine Coast Guard Station. The building was sold into private hands when the station was closed. It is now part of Pugh Marina in Racine.
