Fairport Harbor Lighthouse

Fairport Harbor Lighthouse and its keeper's dwelling were erected in 1871 to replace the 1825 structures designed by Jonathan Goldsmith. From the time the station guided early settlers into the Western Reserve until it was decommissioned in 1925, it served Great Lakes shipping during its most important 100 years. The present well-proportioned tower, constructed of Berea sandstone, is an outstanding engineering achievement.
