DULUTH, Minn. (AP) — Two friends have purchased the light tower next to Duluth’s Aerial Lift Bridge for $31,000.

Steven Sola and Matt Kampf want to preserve the tower, but they aren’t sure yet what else to do with it.
Sola said buying the light tower was something they just couldn’t pass up. They made the winning bid for the tower on Monday.

The 67-foot-tall tower is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It has a white, iron lantern room suported by steel framework and a central cylinder that has a cast-iron cylindrical staircase.

The federal government decided last year that it didn’t need the light, which was first lit in 1901.
