Fairport Harbor West Breakwater Lighthouse photograph   Save
Ohio Guide Photographs
Description: Built to relieve a dilapidated main lighthouse, the West Breakwater light at Fairport Harbor was completed in 1925. The light's iron shell and other cast-iron sections were fabricated in Buffalo; masonry and interior work for the keeper's quarters were completed on-site. In 2009, deeming the light unnecessary, the U.S. Coast Guard auctioned off the site to Jerome Osborne, a Mentor, Ohio building contractor and lighthouse enthusiast. View on Ohio Memory.
