That's what I found on the Lighthouse Directory

I think the difference between this and the Harbortown fake lighthouse is that this one was built to honor a group of people and not just as an aid to commercialization. Harbortown breaks all the rules for construction on Hilton Head because it is taller than allowed and not painted in natural earth tone colors as is required of all other buildings. The Red Roof Inn was not allowed to have a red roof because it did not comply with the zoning.
