Point Arena Lighthouse

The original 1870 lighthouse was damaged in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and later demolished. The San Francisco-based company chosen to build a new lighthouse on the site had specifications that it had to be able to withstand any future earthquakes. The company chosen normally built factory smokestacks, which accounts for the final design for the new Point Arena Lighthouse, featuring steel reinforcement rods encased in concrete. This was the first lighthouse to be built this way. The new lighthouse began operation in 1908, nearly 18 months after the quake. It stands 115 ft. (35 m) tall.
