Anderson Hallas Architects, PC. 2011. Cultural Landscape Report, Historic Structures Report, and Environmental Assessment, Volume VI: Sand 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. 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 V contains the Light Station History, Cultural Landscape Report, and Historic Structure Report for the Sand Island Light Station. Supplemental information applicable to all light stations is presented in Volume I. The Sand Island Light Station is located along the outer shipping route and is unique to the system of light stations in the Apostle Islands in several ways. Sand Island was a residential community and, unlike other light stations, the Sand Island Light Station and the lighthouse keepers were part of the community. In 1921, the Sand Island Light Station was the first light station automated within the archipelago. After automation the lighthouse was leased as summer residence. The period of significance is 1881 to 1921, beginning with the initial development of the light station and continuing until automation of the Light Station Quarters.
