The Hereford Inlet Light construction was completed and it became operational in 1874. The lighthouse was designed by Paul J. Pelz, who also designed Hereford Inlet's sister stations, Point Fermin Light in San Pedro CA, East Brother Island Light in Richmond, California, Mare Island Light, in Carquinez Strait, California (demolished in the 1930s), Point Hueneme Light in California (replaced in 1940), and Point Adams Light in Washington State (burned down by the Lighthouse Service in 1912), all in essentially the same style. The light was decommissioned in 1964 when the United States Coast Guard constructed an automated skeletal light tower. Source: ( visit link)
