Windmill Point Lighthouse: tower mill : Converted into a (now redundant) lighthouse

Signboard says:
An Odd Life for a Windmill
This lighthouse was built originally as a windmill in the 1820's. It served the needs of the local residents, grinding their grain into flour or animal feed. After the 1838 battle it was used as a temporary military post. In 1872 the federal government converted the tower into a lighthouse that remained in service until 1978. Today, the mill and adjacent land are a National Historic site.

Public convenience, erected 1992 to commemorate numerous windmills that once stood in the area

Signboard says:
The Sandwich Windmill - 1992
In the 18th century, numerous wind-powered grist mills stood on the south shore of the Detroit River between Sandwich and Tecumseh. Jacques Baby's mill was located near this site on lot #2 at the foot of Mill Street not far from the historic Duff-Baby Mansion. During the War of 1812, the American General William Hull commandeered flour for his troops from the mill before his retreat from Sandwich. At that time, up to 50 bushels of grain per day could be ground into flour which sold for 25 cents a pound.
This commemorative structure was erected in 1992 by the Windsor Department of Parks and Recreation with the assistance of the Sandwich Business Association and the P.R.I.D.E Programme of the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs together with Unemployment Job Creation Programme of Employment and Immigration Canada.
