Status check, 2026-11: This is a 352 ft granite Doric column built 1912–1915 as a War of 1812 and peace memorial, not a lighthouse; 352 ft is the column's height, since the tower-height field doesn't strictly apply. Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It stands at 41.6542° N, 82.8114° W.
