Pigeon Point Light Station State Park, is located along the Pacific Coast Highway on the outskirts of Pescadero. Listed on the National Register, the lighthouse, built in 1871, is the tallest on the West Coast.
In 2001, the lighthouse closed to the public when portions of the cast iron upper belt course and brackets failed. Following years of planning, investigation, and design, a comprehensive rehabilitation began in 2023. We are excited to share that the lighthouse is scheduled to reopen in fall 2026.
Page & Turnbull, as the Executive Architect, is responsible for construction administration. The rehabilitation scope includes seismic upgrades, replacement of cast iron architectural features, masonry repair, glazing restoration, roofing replacement, and waterproofing. dditional team members include Degenkolb, structural engineer of record, and Sustainable Group/ICC, the contractor.
