My mother-in-law came to visit us from Northwest Arkansas. After a week of hard work, we decided to do something fun with her. So we went to visit my brother in Lancaster, CA. We decided to look for Lighthouses. Boy did we have fun. Here is a short video of our tour and the grounds of Point Fermin Lighthouse. Here are a few links if you are interested in find this Lighthouse for yourself. Just for your information, the tour was really fun. I hope you can go on it as well.

The lighthouse was built in 1874 and designed by Paul J. Pelz, who also designed Point Fermin's sister stations, 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), Hereford Inlet Light in North Wildwood, New Jersey, and Point Adams Light in Washington State (burned down by the Lighthouse Service in 1912), all in essentially the same style. The original fourth order Fresnel lens was removed in 1942 and a wood replica lantern was installed in 1974. The lighthouse was saved from demolition in 1972 and refurbished in 1974, and a new lantern room and gallery were built by local preservationists. In 1972, the light was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
Historical Information from Coast Guard web site:
Point Fermin Light was built in 1874 with lumber from California redwoods.
In 1941 the light was extinguished due to the bombing of Pearl Harbor. There was fear that the light would serve as a beacon for enemy planes and ships. Later, the lantern room and gallery were removed. They were replaced by a lookout shack that remained for the next 30 years, and was referred to as the chicken coop by locals.
In 1972 the light was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
The light fell into disuse and disrepair. A new lantern room and gallery were built in 1974.
The building has now been restored to its original state and is open to the public as the Point Fermin Lighthouse Historic Site and Museum.
The original Fresnel lens from the lighthouse, removed in the 1940s, had been missing for decades. After being found and positively identified, on November 13, 2006 the lens was relocated to a display in the restored lighthouse museum from the real estate office of Louis Busch in Malibu, California where it had been on display.
The lighthouse is open daily except Monday and holidays.
In June 2011, the General Services Administration made the Point Fermin Light (along with 11 others) available at no cost to public organizations willing to preserve them.

SUNKEN CITY!! SAN PEDRO, CA
PLS SUPPORT MY DREAMS + SUBSCRIBE + USE AFFILIATE LINKS! ⬇:)
Vlog #302: I visit Sunken City in San Pedro, CA for a quick stop to check out this cool old area.
In 1929 a natural landslide caused several beachside homes in the Pt. Fermin area of San Pedro, CA, to slide into the ocean. The site was dubbed “Sunken City”. The development of cliffside homes and exclusive bungalows was established in the 1920s by George Peck to attract people who wanted to live with a beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean (6). Experts investigating the landslide said that the ground was shifting at a rate of 11 inches per day (1). The landslide occurred at the southern tip of San Pedro sending nearly 40,000 square feet of land into the Pacific Ocean (1).
The first reports of damage occurred on January 2, 1929, a waterline broke underneath the Ocean View Inn hotel on Paseo Del Mar, and a few days later a gas line broke under the same building (6). Most of the houses on the 600 block of Paseo Del Mar were evacuated and relocated before the collapse (1). There was not enough time to move two houses, which ultimately slid into the ocean (5). Part of the adjoining Point Fermin Park also fell (3). The slide displaced houses, commercial buildings, streets, and sidewalks (6).
