The New Canal Basin Lighthouse Restoration Complete

The New Canal Basin Lighthouse renovation has been completed from being knocked off its existing foundation during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005. Since then, HMS was able to document the lighthouse and rebuild it to meet today's safety codes. The refurbished lighthouse will now sit higher than the previous, due to the modified flood elevation requirements. Striving to achieve LEED Certification, HMS saved and restored many pieces and parts from the original. Thank you to Jeld-wen for the windows and doors and thank you to the Save the Lake Foundation for involving HMS. The historic structure is now restored and converted into a museum and education center, focusing on its former use, and the lake ecology.
