Oak Orchard Lighthouse Museum
This Project entailed designing a replica structure of the 1871 Oak Orchard Lighthouse that was destroyed by severe weather in 1916. The new structure is located at the Oak Orchard Marine Park, a county leased state-owned park, on the east side of the Oak Orchard River.

Chatfield Engineers, P.C. designed the structure to match the former lighthouse using the existing written and photographic documentation available through the Oak Orchard Lighthouse Museum. A new wooden walkway and handicap accessible ramp was also created similar in detail to the old wooden pier construction.
