CLEVELAND LIGHTHOUSE, Cleveland, Ohio - Blueprint Drawing and Plan of the Lighthouse as it was in 1870.

CLEVELAND LIGHTHOUSE, Cleveland, Ohio - Blueprint Drawing and Plan of the Lighthouse as it was in 1870. The lighthouse was completed in early 1873, and its beacon went into operation with the opening of navigation that year. Built in a Victorian Gothic style, the 1873 Cleveland Lighthouse is likely the most impressive lighthouse every constructed in the United States. The three-story dwelling and attached eighty-three-foot tower were built of brick and accented with stone trimmings. Originally intended for two keepers, the dwelling was altered in 1886 to provide quarters for a third keeper. In 1909, the dwelling had seventeen rooms. The fixed light produced by the third-and-a-half-order lens atop Cleveland Lighthouse was discontinued with the close of navigation in 1892, its role having been assumed by a breakwater lighthouse.
