So how many places do you know that are called "lighthouse" but they aren't really lighthouses? Such as natural formations, etc. I'll start with Lighthouse Rock in PaloDuro Canyon in Texas.

Looks a little like Split Rock.

Here's a Lighthouse Restaurant in the Cayman Islands.

A lighthouse watertower meant to look like Cape Charles, Va

Sure it is, Judy. I sent a post card of the "faux" light to one of the post card exchanges a ways back, and it took a while before someone realized I had cheated.

Here's a water tower just over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge from Annapolis on Kent Island.

Here's a storage company in Annapolis,MD called Shur Gard.

Here's one that is and isn't a Lighthouse.

A replica of Cape Henlopen Lighthouse in Delaware.

Here's one I found in hollywood. I never did find out what it was for.

Dennis,

FWIW, there are Shur Guards all across the country and most have a lighthouse. There is one north of Indianapolis where US 31 & 431 merge. About the only Shur Guard I have ever seen without the light is , strangely enough, across the street from HL world headquarters. Go figure.

Dave,

I thought about putting in that info- the part about it being a chain, but only later.

I guess they didn't start using the Lighthouse motif until after they opened the one by HL.

There is also the famous ....McLighthouse in Port Washington, WI.

A Church in Cleveland TN. Note the cross on the Lighttower.
