Description

A three legged platform tower was erected onsite in 1919 with a frame cabin for living quarters. This had no enclosed cab and was just a flat viewing platform on top. There are older pictures that suggest these were replaced with a newer tower and cabin at some point. The site was abandoned in the 1950s and the tower was removed in 1967. The living quarters cabin still stands today.
