A view in the Cleveland Flats looking northeast along the Detroit-Superior Viaduct. Lake Erie can be seen in the distance. In the foreground can be seen a building with a sign reading: "F. W. Nichols, Carriage Maker." In the distance is a structure which appears to be the lighthouse that stood on the bluff on Water (West Ninth) Street. According to William Ganson Rose's "Cleveland: the Making of a City," the lighthouse was built in 1872 at the cost of $55,725 and was 83 feet tall and towered 157 feet above the level of Lake Erie. The white light was visible for twenty miles, and 300 gallons of "mineral oil" were required annually to operate it.</div>
