The Cleveland Harbor West Pierhead Lighthouse is located at the western end of the breakwater leading to the port of Cleveland. Built in 1911, the lighthouse was automated in 1965 and its signal still warns vessels every five seconds. The original Fresnel lenses are now on display at the nearby Great Lakes Science Center.

The lighthouse is closed to the public but can be viewed up close from Lake Erie.

Notably, it became encased in ice in 2010; see the attached article for details.
