Faux Lighthouses
Florida Faux Lighthouses
Faux lighthouses are non-historic lighthouse-inspired structures. They may be privately built, decorative, commercial, or miniature versions of real lighthouse forms.
What Counts As Faux?
A faux lighthouse may resemble a lighthouse but was not built as a historic light station or official navigation aid. These landmarks can still be fun to visit and photograph.
How FLA Uses The Term
FLA’s primary preservation support is focused on historic lighthouses. Faux lighthouse listings help visitors understand the broader lighthouse landscape without confusing it with historic preservation priorities.
