Compare this image with Image] to see that the reconstruction is a brave attempt but a long way from capturing the quaint dilapidation of the original. In fairness you can't look at this as a mere repair of the Pisky House/Harbour Lights. The pigsty origin of the previous building meant it was ill-equipped to withstand the flood and it didn't just deteriorate - it disintegrated completely. What stands there today is a ground-up attempt at a facsimile, although it does incorporate the original stone lintels.
