The station was built on a .32-acre tract of land leased by the government as Location 153 and was originally disguised a beach cottage. In the 1960s the station was purchased by Garnsey Bros.

+In 1965 the station was bought by a real estate firm who demolished the original wooden cottage and modified the concrete tower to appear as a lighthouse. The building still operates as a vacation rental office and there is no public access to the tower. It can be photographed from the road.
