Vote for
Rose Island Lighthouse! JELD-WEN's Reliable Lighthouse Restoration Initiative
WHAT: Powered by wind energy and collecting rainwater for its overnight guests, Rose Island Lighthouse is a finalist in a coast-to-coast search for lighthouses in need of restoration. This innovative lighthouse, built in 1869 when being green was merely a resourceful way of life, is one of 12 finalists with the opportunity to win JELD-WEN's Reliable Lighthouse Restoration Initiative. To increase its chances to win, Rose Island Lighthouse needs local community support as the decision deadline is quickly approaching.
Restored from a shell in the 1980s,
Rose Island Lighthouse now invites
overnight guest "keepers".
WHEN:Public voting will take place on www.jeld-wen.com/lighthouse through September 7. Fans of Rose Island Lighthouse are encouraged to cast a vote, as well as share photography and videos to show support. Public support will help JELD-WEN determine which of the lighthouse finalists will ultimately receive new JELD-WEN windows and doors, designed to withstand the harsh coastal conditions Rose Island Lighthouse endures every day.

HISTORY: The JELD-WEN Reliable Lighthouse Restoration Initiative began in 2005 as a way to preserve these beloved U.S. landmarks with the latest in window and door technology, and help restore the original architecture and performance of the historic structures. The next lighthouse selected for restoration will follow in the footsteps of three impressive lighthouses: Umpqua River Lighthouse on Oregon's southern coastline, Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse in Maryland on Chesapeake Bay, and Wind Point Lighthouse in Wisconsin on the shore of Lake Michigan.
