Minnesota Point Lighthouse has been old for a long time

For the purpose of comparison, here's another recent pic taken from virtually same angle.

There are a lot of spirits roaming out there and beyond. Just saying.

Here's another side-by-side comparison using Rij's photo. When I did my comparison I was kind of under the impression that another section had broke off the top in the past century, reversing the unevenness, but now I'm not so sure. I think I'm in Rij's camp in the belief that the lighthouse hasn't crumbled much since 1920. 

We might need a post in which we compare every photo that has ever been shot of the lighthouse in order to fully geek out.

You can still see a windowledge. This story indicates that around 1902 the top cast iron lantern section was removed; it seems odd that they didn't just knock down the whole thing, and that it hasn't really changed much since that time. 

Here's a different perspective, from 1904. Looks much the same. 

I thought this was interesting.

Here is a drawing of the Old Lighthouse on Minnesota Point commissioned by the National Park Service in 1934.
