Many Faces of a Lighthouse
Lighthouses come in different shapes, sizes, colors and designs. Their designs were practical for the environment in which they were built. Some lighthouses are built in the middle of water, on a rocky cliff, a sandy beach, or along harbors. Architects used local materials to build their lighthouses and constructed them to with stand its environment.
The lighthouse decor used for constructing lighthouses is round, pyramid, skeletal, conical and square. The round designs are often made of brick and painted. They can be tall or short depending on their location. The pyramid lighthouse is not used much being made of wood or steel. A skeletal design consists of a steel framework for little wind resistance. Finally the square lighthouse encompasses the tower being built into the keeper’s house creating a square look. There are other shapes and styles depending on where you live. The designs are endless.
