Grand Lake St. Marys Lighthouse

A 50-foot ornamental lighthouse built in 1923 east of Celina, modeled on England's Eddystone Lighthouse, with a bronze-and-glass dome and a decorative weathervane. On the National Register of Historic Places since 1982 — it sits on private property in the Northwood Addition, visible from a boat rather than a walk-up stop.
