A Historic Lighthouse on Lake Erie Is Up for Transfer at No Cost-But There's a Catch

""GSA is dedicated to the responsible stewardship of our nation's assets, and that includes preserving significant landmarks like the Cleveland Harbor West Pierhead Light. The National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act underscores our commitment to ensuring that these important pieces of our maritime heritage continue to serve as community resources, delivering long-term value and preserving their legacy for the enjoyment and education of future generations.""

"The brick lighthouse, first built in 1910 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, has the potential to be transformed into a museum, educational center, or cultural venue."

The Cleveland Harbor West Pierhead Lighthouse will soon be transferred to an eligible organization at no cost, as per the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act of 2000. This transfer is limited to federal, state, local agencies, nonprofits, and educational institutions for purposes like education, recreation, and historic preservation. The lighthouse, built in 1910 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, offers views of Lake Erie and has potential for various community uses. The U.S. Coast Guard will retain ownership of navigation aids associated with the lighthouse.
