Something New at the Old Point Loma Lighthouse

In the 1981 Point Loma Historic Structures Report, park Historian Ross Holland described the activity: "From the historic record and the building itself, the architects learned a great deal and they began to restore the building to what they thought was its original condition. Rotten wood was replaced, the lean-to was rebuilt, the flooring was renewed throughout, and the metal lantern crowning the tower was reconstructed. Certain modern concessions were made because of the intended use of the building. Electric fixtures were installed, as was plumbing."
