Another Lighthouse located on Lake Erie, near the town of Westfield, NY, is the Barcelona Lighthouse, which was built in 1828. It was the first to use natural gas as the source of illumination and did so until 1851. The Lighthouse was removed from service in 1859, but remained a tourist attraction. It was in private hands for over 100 years and then became part of NY Parks and Recreation in 2008. The first photo is dated 1904 and makes you wonder what would attract a tourist. The second photo is dated 1926.
