PRESS RELEASE. From the Coastside State Parks Association “Coastlines” Summer 2024.
With the winter rains over, work is beginning in earnest on the restoration of Pigeon Point Lighthouse. The crew was able to prepare the interior of the structure for hazardous materials abatement — particularly lead and asbestos — by wrapping the stairs, landings and floors. Two rings of bracket scaffolding were installed; one just below the lower gallery and the other around the top portion of the lantern room.
In the past few weeks, full scaffolding covering the body of the tower has been installed to provide for lead paint abatement. Also, investigative probing has begun to determine the condition of the ironwork, brick, and mortar in the upper interior and lower exterior belt courses.
Behind the scenes, the contractor has been submitting a number of plans to address various elements of the project, from the hazmat protocols to materials specifications to procedures for conducting the investigative probing. This process will continue throughout the construction project to inform and guide the work as it is performed.
We’re excited to see so much work being done!
— Julia Barrow, Special Projects Coordinator.
