The Old Point Loma Lighthouse is a landmark located in Cabrillo National Monument Park in San Diego, California. The entire area of the park is rather large and is designed in the architectural style of late 19th and 20th-century revival. It’s a small structure located at one of the higher peaks within the park, but it has a lot of history and the I’ve always been a fan of lighthouses. Of course, I’ve always just been a fan of anything old world and minimalistic.

The lighthouse tower jets out of the main house in the direct center of the home, which was furnished with antique appliances and decorations as the lighthouse now serves as a small museum. The lighthouse has so much care put into its maintenance and the preservation of its history that it remains a very charming addition to the entirety of the park. When I first visited this lighthouse it gave me an appreciation for the history of the city I lived in at the time, and it much like the old mission in Okmulgee I mentioned in an earlier blog ignited for simplistic and humble architecture.
