Description
"The 163-foot-tall triangular lighthouse is not the first to be built on Sullivan’s Island. Records indicate that two "pole-beacon lights" were placed near the southern end of the island near Fort Moultrie in 1848 to guide mariners over Charleston Bar. The range lights were destroyed during the Civil War, but after the surrender of Charleston in the spring of 1865, a temporary, open-framework tower was placed atop a private residence. Formal range lights were established in 1872 with the front beacon being displayed from a wooden tower on the fort's parapet and the rear beacon from a square, open-framework tower. The front range light was moved from the parapet to a point east of the fort in 1878, and the following year, the wooden tower was placed atop a brick basement that functioned as an oil room. The front tower was painted red in 1883." (lighthousefriends.com)
