Cleveland Lamp

Very little information has been found concerning the now-closed Cleveland Lamp Works of General Electric. It is known that at the outset it produced carbon filament lamps, which indicates that it must have existed prior to approximately 1910, and that it belonged to the National Lamp Works rather than the Edison Lamp Works division of GE. It was still in existence in 1940, but had closed by 1961. Unusually, it was located directly alongside the Euclid Lamp Plant but appears to have been operated completely independently from that facility. During the author's visit to Euclid Lamp Plant in 2007 the buildings of the Cleveland Lamp Works were not in use.

The building at 1762 East 45th Street in 2015, believed to have previously housed the Cleveland Lamp Works.
