Split Rock Lighthouse, a brick tower rising 16 meters on the North Shore of Lake Superior near Silver Bay, Minnesota, was designed by lighthouse engineer Ralph Russell Tinkham and completed in 1910 by the United States Lighthouse Service. Built at a cost of $75,000 including ancillary structures and the surrounding land, it is considered one of the most picturesque lighthouses in the United States. The lighthouse is listed as both a National Historic Landmark and on the National Register of Historic Places.
