lighthouse, NRHP - National Register of Historic Places, historic landmark
The light was lit on 1 February 1856, making it the sixth lighthouse in the state of California; however, the building standing here today dates to 1881. Due to its location within the Bixby Ranch property, the lighthouse remains isolated and nearly pristine. The light was automated by the US Coast Guard, its last caretaker, in 1973.
