The biggest change with the Jupiter lighthouse has been the color. It went from a bright red, to more of a brick red. When you see the color of the L.E. (or a Lofton for that matter) compared to the current color, the difference is remarkable.

Here is a link that shows some before and after photos http://www.uslighthouses.com/jupiter_restoration.html also, http://users.erols.com/lthouse/jitd.htm

The bright red color had faded quite a bit before the restoration began. So, even the before picture doesn't look like any of the current offerings available to lighthouse collectors.
