Both towers of the arch have a door on their back side. Permanent wooden ladders are along one wall of each tower, which pass through an opening in the first floor ceiling to allow access to the interior of the centerpiece. Originally a number of incandescent bulbs were used to illuminate the letters spelling out 'Euclid Beach Park.' They were later converted to neon; the wiring insulators are still inside the crosspiece. Around 1942, a contractor was hired to install stone covering called 'Permastone' to the outside of the arch, giving it its present look. | Source: Cleveland Memory, Cleveland State University Library Special CollectionsDownload Original File
