Hotel Carolina’s Beacon in the Night

Check out this recently uploaded postcard depicting the Hotel Carolina in Raleigh at night.  The style of the card suggests that it was printed sometime between 1915 and 1930, and the spot light coming off the roof of the building adds a fitting touch to this thoroughly modern hotel.  Does anyone remember seeing the beacon?
