Description
Taken
in
1920
, this
photograph
shows
the
Lorain
lighthouse
looking
south
.
It
measures
6.5
"
x
8.5
"
(16.51
x
21.59
cm)
. The
Lorain
Harbor
Lighthouse
was
built
in
1917
with
poured
concrete
and
steel
walls
that were
ten
inches
thick
. The
concrete
structure
included
door
jams
,
baseboards
and
window
frames
made
of
steel
. In
1932
an
electric
light
was
installed
. In
1939
, the
U
.
S
.
Coast
Guard
took
over
operation
of the
lighthouse
. In
1965
, the
Coast
Guard
decommissioned
the
lighthouse
, and the
building
was
slated
for
demolition
in
1965
to
make
way
for a
planned
$22
million
harbor
improvement
program
.
Bad
weather
postponed
the
demolition
, and the
Coast
Guard
decided
to
retain
the
lighthouse
due
to the
community's
interest
in
keeping
the
historic
structure
. In
1974
the
lighthouse
was
put
up
for
sale
.
It
was
purchased
by the
Lorain
County
Historical
Society
in
1977
with the
stipulation
that the
lighthouse
be
maintained
as an
historic
landmark
. In
December
1978
the
Lorain
Lighthouse
was
placed
on the
National
Register
of
Historic
Places
.
