Historic
Lindbergh Beacon
The Lindbergh Beacon is an aircraft beacon atop the Los Angeles City Hall, operated nightly from April 26, 1928, until just after the attack on Pearl Harbor. It was restored to its original condition in 2001, and Los Angeles magazine described it as "a tiara of light atop our beautifully restored Los Angeles City Hall." City officials now occasionally put the beacon into operation for special occasions such as the year-end holidays.
Why it's on the map
The beacon began operation on the first night of the City Hall's three-day dedication gala of April 26–28, 1928.
The light was gratefully dedicated to Charles A. Lindbergh for his contribution to the advancement of aviation and in commemoration of man's first transatlantic solo flight from New York to Paris on May 20, 1927.
