This lighthouse is also a benchmark. This lighthouse is about 100 feet high. This is hard to get to by land but easy to see by sea. The original plan for the lighthouse was a wooden, square, two-story building like those constructed for Oakland Harbor and Southampton Shoals. However, the plans were changed and the Los Angeles Light was firmly anchored to the concrete block and built of steel reinforced concrete. It is the only lighthouse ever built to this design.
