The Lighthouse Changes
Over the years the appearance of the Lighthouse and it's buildings had changed. The causes for the changes were due to a variety of reasons, including updating for modern convienances, making more livable and maintenance.
During the seventies, an era not remembered for it's architecural highlights, aluminum windows and plain looking doors began appearing.
The Renovation
Due to the tireless efforts of Cullen Chambers and the Tybee Island Historical Society the buildings are being restored to their former glory.
At great expense every detail of the bygone era has been lovingly recreated. Using a combination of old photographs (see head keepers cottage main page), memories of the Jackson family (Jackson was the last lighthouse keeper) and written records the Lighthouse and Head Keepers Cottage have been faithfully renovated.
