Coast Guard Light Station-Turned Adventure Bed and Breakfast Up for Auction
For decades, the Frying Pan Tower, located some 34 miles off the coast of North Carolina, functioned as a U.S. Coast Guard light station, serving as an aid to navigation and alerting ships to the shallow shoals just beyond.
But after more than 25 years of continuous operation, the light station went dark in 1992 and slowly fell into disrepair.
That is until 2010 when North Carolina resident, Richard Neal, purchased the tower from the U.S. government and spent the following years turning it into an “adventure” bed & breakfast.
However, Neal has put the tower up for auction to the highest bidder, with a minimum starting bid of just $10,000.
