Brigantine Lighthouse

This is sort of a fake lighthouse (it's not an aid to navigation), but it is adorable nonetheless. ;)

The Island Development Real Estate Company built the Brigantine Lighthouse as a sales attraction in 1926. During the Depression it was used as headquarters for the Brigantine Police Department. When the second wave of development started in the 1940s, it was used as a museum and gift shop. As traffic increased around the circle, this idea had to be abandoned.

As the lighthouse began to deteriorate, a group of volunteers refurbished the building inside and out in 1995. Today it stands as the centerpiece of the island, landscaped and alight every night, an identifying symbol for the Island of Brigantine Beach.
