The Lighthouse is one of our most
versatile pieces. The House can be displayed separately as another
cottage, the tower can also be displayed independently, or you may mount them
together on the rocky base. Cut two holes in the base for clip in lights,
use two different colored lights, or use a flasher in the tower. It is one
of our favorites.
