Historic Structures Report: The History and Architecture of the Point Reyes Light Station
Livingston D and Snow D. 1990. Historic Structures Report: The History and Architecture of the Point Reyes Light Station. National Park Service. Washington, DC
This Historic Structures Report (HSR) for the Point Reyes Light Station was funded by a 1989 Bicentennial Lighthouse Grant administered by the California Office of Historic Preservation. Public Law 100-446 ·earmarked Fiscal Year 1989 funds for the Bicentennial Lighthouse Fund. Consistent with Seashore management and planning documents, the purpose of this HSR is to provide guidance for management to ensure the long-term preservation and protection of the light station, specifically the lighthouse and equipment building. These two structures are highlighted in the report because they are the dominant buildings within the light station. More specific goals of this report are 1) to provide recommendations for maintenance treatments to ensure preservation maintenance is accomplished; 2) to gather into one document all existing pertinent data for guiding future management actions; 3) to provide guidance for the restoration of specific character-defining features of the structures (specifically, the lighthouse) that enhance the integrity of the complex; and 4) to identify future research needs and additional studies. This report fulfills the requirements of the National Park Service Management Policies (1988) and will assist in compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and in the associated consultant process with the State Office of Historic Preservation. The report is based on guidelines in NPS-49: National Register Programs, NPS-28: Cultural Resource Management, and the Secretary of Interior's Standards for Historic Preservation.
