A Fresh Look for an Old Garage

Visitors to Point Wilson Lighthouse may have noticed a welcome change as they approach the lightstation: our 1930s-era two-car garage has a handsome new pair of doors!

Finding doors that suit the character of this historic building wasn't easy, but Olympic Garage Doors came through with just what we needed. Many thanks to Jacob and Bryan for their excellent work installing them. As you can see from the before-and-after photos, the improvement is hard to miss!

The garage is just one small part of the U.S. Lighthouse Society's ongoing effort to restore and preserve the historic buildings at Point Wilson. And even a modest building like this one takes considerable time, effort, and money to maintain. We replaced its roof several years ago, and now the garage doors are done. Still on the list: a new side door, wall repairs, and a fresh coat of paint.

Progress depends largely on available funding. Every stay in our vacation rentals, purchase in our gift shop, and visitor donation helps support restoration and maintenance at Point Wilson.

So thank you for helping us keep this special place looking its best!
