It was built in Art Deco style and was made durable to withstand the harsh weather that Alaska must endure. The Five Finger Lighthouse was the last to be manned in its area. It still operates today but with the use of solar panels. Alaska Five Finger Lighthouse is now on its way to becoming a greater landmark with Alaska trying to help make the area more appealing to tourists, as well as a marine site.
