One of eight lighthouses along the Oregon Coast, the Coquille River Lighthouse has had an interesting 110 year history. Originally built on a rocky island, it was decommissioned and fell into disrepair. An earlier maintenance project restored the exterior walls and the original windows were replaced with sheets of glass. Arciform was contracted to build ten new windows to match the original, using historic techniques and sustainable materials and methods. Components were crafted in Arciform's custom workshop and shipped to Bandon, where they were assembled in place by our restoration team.

Having to sustain strong winds and crashing waves, these windows were built to last using Alaskan Yellow Cedar and all stainless steel or brass fasteners. Original details were matched with a curved pediment and ornate details.

The tower windows were not just arched on the top, but curved radiusly to match the tower. ARCIFORM skillfully cut the woodwork to match the radius of the tower.
