LOTD: Parker’s Lighthouse
~sorry for delay - meant for January 6th, 2023~
(from: http://www.ibiblio.org/lighthouse/ca2.htm)
Parker's Lighthouse
1982. Active (?) (privately maintained); focal plane 71 ft (21.5 m); white flash every 10 s. Lantern centered at the peak of the roof on a round 2-1/2 story restaurant. The architects of the building have a portfolio of photos. Robert Lazo has a closeup photo, Randy Miller has a street view, and Google has a satellite view. The building was renovated in 1998-99. The light was dropped from the U.S. Coast Guard Light List in 2009, so it is either inactive or no longer official. In Victor Pan's 2017 photo at right a lens can be seen in the lantern. Located in Shoreline Village on the east side of the small boat basin, opposite the Long Beach Lions Light. Site and lighthouse open daily. Owner: Select Restaurants. Operator/site manager: Parker's Lighthouse. ARLHS USA-1238; ex-USCG 6-2925.
