Description: This manual provides an easily-understood set of
basic principles and checklists that will help an
authority consider, design, plan and manage a
number of complementary uses for their historical
lighthouse estate.
Despite differing significantly across a multitude
of climates, topographies and national
infrastructure types, historical lighthouses—if
properly conserved and managed—offer their
respective authorities a number of navigational,
financial and reputational benefits and secure a
legacy for the interest of all.
This manual does not cover civil engineering
practices or material conservation (such as granite
repair or managing corrosion of ferrous fittings),
but rather looks at how lighthouse authorities can
leverage operational, commercial or reputational
benefits from the historical and cultural
significance of a property.
Conserving an historical lighthouse or related
structure affords those authorities the freedom to
explore a lighthouse structure’s complementary
or alternative uses as a platform for future aids
to navigation, as an opportunity to exploit spare
capacity commercially or as a platform for
raising that authority’s profile through education,
awareness raising or community engagement.
