Lorain Lighthouse Article – September 16, 1968

Lorain’s Lighthouse is the best thing the city has going for it, and it’s always somewhat chilling to think how close the town came to losing it.

Today, the iconic structure has its own website, and there are Lighthouse Tours and Sunset Dinners that make it possible to see it up close. But back in 1968, the future of the decommissioned building – for sale at that time – was still unknown.

That’s the focus of the editorial/photo feature above, which ran on the Page of Opinion of the Journal back on September 16, 1968. The eloquently-written article speculates on the Lighthouse’s future, and features great photos by Michael Pugh.

  1. I love our lighthouse too. There's some really beautiful drone footage of it on YouTube. One where it's frozen at sunset. Another during the day with big ice chunks. You can see the lighthouse as the seagulls do.
