And above you see the front page of the October 3, 1955 Lorain Journal with a photo of what I believe is the current siren being installed. It sure looks like it.
Elsewhere on that not-so-newsworthy front page: the Lorain County Kennel Club's annual all-breed puppy and obedience sanctioned match; a coal burning tug causes soot to fall on Lorain east side homes; the Lorain Port List; and some advice from a 'nationally prominent home economist" about successful meat cookery, including the suggestion that "Meat should never be seared!"
Unfortunately, you won't be hearing that siren anymore. It is currently broken and the city decided not to repair it. I can't recall whether it was due to the cost or the lack of parts available. Another tradition gone with the wind.
