Lighthouses of the Great Lakes

Braddock Point Light
By Wes Oleszewski & Wayne Sapulski*

The tower and dwelling were a near duplicate of Cleveland light of 1829 that was demolished in 1895. The lantern and lens were moved to this light.

The light was deactivated in 1954 and the 110-foot tower was cut down due to storm damage. The private owners have down a partial wooden reconstruction of the tower.
