The Lorain West Breakwater Light, also called the Lorain Harbor Light, is a lighthouse in Lorain, Ohio, United States. The light was built in 1917 on Lake Erie by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. It was taken out of service in 1965 when it was replaced by an automated light tower on a nearby breakwater.[1] The light was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[2]
History
The original lens was a fourth order, Fresnel that was installed in 1918.[3] When the lighthouse was decommissioned, the Fresnel lens was relocated for use in a New York lighthouse. In 2021 the original Lorain Fresnel lens was returned to Lorain and is on display inside the Lorain Port Authority.[4]
The Lorain Lighthouse has been managed by the Lorain Lighthouse Foundation (formerly Port of Lorain Foundation) since 1990.[5] The lighthouse has won "best lighthouse" by Lake Erie Living Magazine in 2013–2024.[6]
