Dennis Lyall (American, B. 1946) "30 Mile Point - Lake Ontario" Signed lower right. Oil on Illustration Board painting.

Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.

This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. 32c Thirty Mile Point Lighthouse issued June 17, 1995.

For more than 75 years, 30-Mile Point Lighthouse warned vessels on Lake Ontario of nearby shoals and sandbars with a beacon that could be seen 18 miles offshore. Built in 1875, this impressive gray stone structure stands within the confines of Gold Hill State Park -- 30 miles east of the mouth of New York's Niagara River. The most commanding feature of this lighthouse is its four-story tower which houses a 10-sided lantern room glazed with long, rectangular panes and topped with a reddish-orange metal roof. The quaint residence features 12-paned windows and peaked gables supported by decorative arches. In 1984 -- more than 25 years after 30-Mile Point Lighthouse was taken out of service -- the Niagara Frontier State Parks Commission signed a long-term lease for the property. Today, the keeper's dwelling holds a museum and the tower affords those who make the climb up its twisting staircase a breathtaking view of Lake Ontario and the lovely grounds of Gold Hill State Park. Even the room that once housed a foghorn has been converted for recreational use, as well as the lighthouse's surrounding land which has been turned into campsites. 30-Mile Point Lighthouse represents one of the many beacons on Lake Ontario.
