Water Tower at Piedras Blancas Light Station Carries Secret
From the San Luis Obispo Tribune:
“There’s a new ‘old’ tower at the Piedras Blancas Light Station north of Cambria. Like the taller, older lighthouse, the 50-foot-tall replica water tower will continue the lighthouse tradition of providing safety communications, just as the 74-foot lighthouse tower itself has helped guide mariners since 1875. …
“The original water tower was completed in 1908 as part of a rain-shed water system that stored rainwater for later use.”
