It's time for planning next project. We want to build a lighthouse on our waterfront. Would like to build it about 25'. We can't find any info out there about plans, framing, materials needed, etc. Any ideas about how to build it?

Sounds like this plan is a lot smaller than what you're looking for but you may be able to work with the deminsions!

Duke, here is another one, taller than the first, it may give you a better handle on the construction methods for the 26 footer you want. This plan is actually of a windmill, but it seems it would be easy enough to modify the mill head for the light house...?
