Texas towers are lighthouses. They were active aids to navigation as well. Not liking them doesn't rewrite history. I bet the mariner in need of direction or warning or help was glad they were there.

There were also some lighthouses built later than Sullivan's that were replicas or reproductions such as Roanoke Marshes & Roanoke River lighthouses in North Carolina, which did not become active aids, but do serve a purpose of preserving history.

Onward to wvlights0 new question.
