I have no idea if the City of North Wildwood is continuing the fine efforts of the Friends of Hereford Inlet Lighthouse as it pertains to brick purchases, The Friends saved the lighthouse from demolition by neglect over 30 years ago, nurtured it to become an iconic landmark with award winning gardens and a focus on history.
