Tully 'did work on the Sailors' Home with sundry other buildings' (Picton-Seymour 1977:77) Known as the Methodist Lighthouse Renewal Centre since 2018. Transcript of 2019 foundation stone: This foundation stone, unveiled on 22 September 2019, marks a new beginning and ushers in a new era. The lighthouse, once a beacon for ships, became a beacon to guide the soul. On 3 February 1900 the home for Soldiers and Sailors was established. In August 1978 the home morphed into the Alcoholics Victorious (AV) home and closed on 15 February 2015 due to financial constraints. In December 2016 a new vision was conceived by the resident minister, Reverend Olivia le Roux, and the Lighthouse Renewal Centre was born and officially opened on 18 March 2018.
