As noted, the LighthouseFriends story of this light's origins disagrees substantially with that of the other sources. A photograph of the light in situ at the Columbian Exhibition would probably rectify the matter, but thus far I have not come upon any such image. I do note that Anderson provides a photograph supposedly depicting the light before it was moved. I'm also a bit wary of the dates for predecessors to the 1873 light, as they differ from source to source and show signs of confusion with the nearby Two Rivers Light.

I've found more sources agreeing with the harbor light as the original location, so I've preferred that in the text and relegated the exposition light claim to the notes. Mangoe ( talk) 16:42, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
There is a cited claim in this article that Rawley Point Light, at 111 feet "is the tallest lighthouse on the Great Lakes" Yet, I arrived on this page from the Michigan Island Light, a similar style of lighthouse. It is listed at 118 feet. Looking elsewhere on the List_of_lighthouses_in_the_United_States#Midwest, Grosse Point light, also on Lake Michigan, is 113 feet. White Shoal Light is 121 feet.
Unless there is some other qualifier that is missing, this claim seems to be in error.
