International chimney is in Buffalo, NY.  They also moved Highland Light,
Truro Ma., Cape Hatteras Light, NC, Block Island Light, Block Island, RI,
and Nausett Light, Eastham, MA. With a track record of other light houses I
would look into how the other structures were finished, onto what type of
stone or substrate the finishes were applied and how the surfaces were
prepared.  Have there been other failures?  Were the coatings and process
the same on each light house?

Sounds like good detective work will be required.  There always is an
answer.  I would be interested in hearing what you discover.
