Photo Caption:

This 1930s photo shows the lighthouse was beginning to suffer structural damage. A careful examination of the 4th floor landing shows 2 steel compression belts were in place, an attempt to hold it all together. An earthquake late in 1948 led to the removal of the upper portion in 1949.
