lighthouse tower/fog-signal - Point Cabrillo Light Station - Caspar, CA - NRHP Historic Districts - Contributing Buildings on Waymarking.com

"The lighthouse tower/fog-signal structure is of significance as the principle element of the light station. The structure fully meets registration requirements of its property type; it is a substantial structure built to contain a Fresnel lens (in this case 3rd order) and its architectural integrity is complete (including the in-place lens). From a distance the structure resembles a country church with the lighthouse tower forming the "steeple" in the front central facade. A number of wood-frame lighthouses of this configuration were built in Washington and Oregon in the late 19th/early 20th centuries. Point Cabrillo is the only one constructed in California, however. The structure's massive Craftsman brackets and all-frame construction make it an ideal design for this, the lighthouse of the north coast lumber fleet."
