| Notes: | The foundation of this abandoned tower has been eroding away and the lighthouse has developed a list to one side. In early 2000 the lighthouse was transferred to the State of Louisiana. The lantern room is in storage awaiting restoration. The Lake Maurepas Society is working to preserve the structure, and they hope to eventually relight it with solar power. The state has provided $250,000 for restoration. In 2002 pilings were placed around the lighthouse in an effort to prevent the lean from becoming worse. |
