Barcelona Light, Historic lighthouse in Westfield, United States.
The Barcelona Light tower stands 40 feet tall on Lake Erie's shore, constructed from fieldstone with an attached keeper's cottage at its base.
Congress allocated 5,000 dollars in 1828 for the lighthouse construction near Portland, leading to its completion and first illumination in 1829.
The lighthouse represents early American maritime infrastructure, serving as a museum in the Keeper's Cottage where visitors learn about navigation history.
The grounds remain open year-round without admission fees, with parking available at Barcelona Harbor Daniel Reed Pier and Westfield Town parking lot.
This structure earned distinction as the first lighthouse in the world to utilize natural gas for illumination, sourced from a local burning spring.
