2602. (photograph) Split Rock Lighthouse and Fog Signal, Minnesota c.1940-60. The U. S. Lighthouse Service completed the 7.6-acre facility in 1910 and operated it until 1939, when the U.S. Coast Guard took command. The station closed in 1969, when modern navigational equipment made it obsolete, and the State of Minnesota obtained the scenic landmark in 1971. Superb 8×10 b/w photograph shows great detail of the lighthouse lantern and tower, as well as the dual fog signal trumpets. Clean, clear, only one small crease to lower corner. (VG). $38.
