For sale: historic waterfront property with unusual winding staircase and a great view of Lake Michigan or Lake Huron. May need work.

The public may get a chance to buy a Michigan lighthouse if no government or nonprofit organization steps forward to preserve three that the U.S. Coast Guard no longer needs:

The Frankfort North Breakwater Lighthouse; the Middle Island Lighthouse, across Thunder Bay from Alpena, and the South Haven South Pierhead Lighthouse.

Eight others are for sale across the country.
