The squat structure of the Coquille River Lighthouse standing abandoned- a victim of graffiti and winter storms on the Pacific Ocean. This lighthouse, located in Bandon, Oregon at the mouth of the Coquille River, was built to serve as both a coastal and harbor light. It was de-commissioned in 1939, and stood neglected until the creation of Bandon State Park in 1963. A slow but successful renovation process was conducted in conjunction with the Army Corps of Engineers, and the lighthouse is now open to visitors.
