San Pedro’s historic Point Fermin Lighthouse kicks off 150th anniversary on Saturday
Diane Bertelsen, Martha McKinzie (lighthouse society president) and Kristen Heather (city curator) in front of the Point Fermin Lighthouse which dates back to the late 1840s. The city of Los Angeles and the harbor were just beginning to grow and the site for a lighthouse was chosen in 1872 and Congress appropriated $20,000 for construction in June of that year. On Dec. 15, 1874, the inaugural lighting was held. (Photo by Chuck Bennett, Contributing Photographer)
