San Dieco CA California Point Loma Old Spanish Lighthouse White Border Postcard

The image is a vintage postcard featuring the Old Point Loma Lighthouse in San Diego, California. The lighthouse has several notable characteristics:

It is located on the Point Loma peninsula within the Cabrillo National Monument.
The lighthouse operated from 1855 until 1891, when a new lighthouse was built at a lower elevation because fog and low clouds often obscured the light at its high location.
At the time, its lens was 462 feet above sea level, making it one of the highest coastal lights in the country.
It is now a museum open to the public, featuring a restored interior that reflects the life of a lightkeeper in the 1880s.
