Historic Preservation & Architecture Firm

Page & Turnbull was thrilled to lead the design team that relocated and restored Camp Parks Entrance Sign and Guard Shack in Dublin, CA.  The sign is an amazing and iconic piece of MCM design by Bruce Goff, when he was a U.S. Navy Seabee. He was stationed at the base during WW II for about 13 months in 1944-1945. P&T’s team included Sattary Structural Engineering, Sandis, and Stantec. The contractor was ARG Conservation Services, Inc. 
 
In 2014, the Army realigned the camp’s access road and built a new security gate, abandoning the historic sign at its original location. In 2021, the City of Dublin initiated a project to relocate the iconic sign to the new visitor entrance to preserve and reinvigorate the historic connection between the City of Dublin community and Camp Parks. This iconic mid-century landmark is now more publicly accessible and closer to the Parks RFTA Visitor Center.

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.
