Erie Land Light, Historic lighthouse on Lake Erie bluffs, Erie, United States.
The Erie Land Light features a 15-meter stone tower with a cast iron spiral staircase containing 69 steps to reach the top section.
Built in 1818 as one of the first lighthouses on the Great Lakes, the structure underwent two complete reconstructions due to foundation problems in 1851 and 1867.
The lighthouse represents Erie's maritime navigation heritage and stands as one of three beacons that protected vessels approaching the Pennsylvania shoreline.
Located at the end of Lighthouse Street in Lighthouse Park, the structure provides views across Lake Erie from its elevated position on the bluffs.
The foundation of the current tower incorporates oak timber underneath concrete to prevent sinking into a layer of quicksand discovered during construction.
