FRANKLIN COUNTY, Fla. (WTXL) â The Cape St. George Lighthouse will be reopening Monday after a significant restoration project had the lighthouse closed for the month of January.
The January restoration project was the largest project since the lighthouse was originally reconstructed at the center of St. George Island in 2008, according to the St. George Lighthouse Association. The lantern room cage was suffering with extensive rust and cracked glass panes and the masonry tower was in need of some TLC, the SGLA said.
Specialized contractors cleared the lantern cage room of rust and painted the cage with three-step industrial coating.
