Anderson Hallas Architects, PC. 2011. Cultural Landscape Report, Historic Structures Report, and Environmental Assessment, Volume IV: Devils Island CLR/HSR, Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, Light Stations of Michigan Island, Outer Island, Devils Island, Long Island and Sand Island. Combined Historic Structure Report and Cultural Landscape Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service. Golden, Colorado
This Cultural Landscape Report and Historic Structure Report (CLR and HSR) were conducted concurrently and are presented as one document to assure coordination of the work. The intent of the combined CLR/HSR is to guide treatment and use of the aboveground cultural resources associated with five light stations on Michigan, Outer, Devils, Long, and Sand Islands. Documentation of historic significance and evaluation of integrity of the cultural landscapes provides the framework upon which treatment recommendations are based. The CLR/HSR is needed to research and record the history and existing condition of the historic light stations (landscapes and structures) on five islands in the park. The document provides guidance for future treatment and use of the landscapes and structures. For ease of use by park staff, separate volumes were created. Volume IV contains the Light Station History, Cultural Landscape Report, and Historic Structure Report for the Devils Island Light Station. Supplemental information applicable to all light stations is presented in Volume I. Devils Island is significant to the Apostle Islands system because of the extent of its development as an outer route light station and for its representation of the continuum of navigational aid technology during the period of significance of 1892 to 1978. The United States Coast Guard remained on the island until automation in 1978, longer than any of the other Apostle Island light stations. During its peak, the light station contained three separate residential keeper’s quarters, an extensive tram and loading system, a Boathouse and dock, a pump house, and many other site features that supported the operation of the light station.
