It's supposed to be on Burlington Island, N.J. Can't find any mention of it and this is what I find on the island:

Mombo,
It's a "Faux" lighthouse. It's attached to a restaurant in a Marina in Burlington, NJ.
It's on the Delaware River. It's lit, but it's not an official aid to navigation.
I took a ride down there last Fall and got some pictures of it. The restaurant was closed that day so I could go in and see if it was possible to go up in it.
I'm going to go down there sometime this Summer or Fall and see what it looks like at night. You can see it from the road.
Dennis

Thanks Dennis, I just knew you'd know! I thought it was sort of new looking and sort of phoney! It does however, have an ARLHS # assigned to it.

It might be a "Private aid To Navigation".
I was unable to confirm that so I did not put that in. I've gotten conflicting info on it.
