Summary edit
| Description |
English: This photo, taken in February, 2010, looks easterly at the westernmost fire control tower on Swallow Cave Rd. in Nahant, MA, known by its WW2 designation as Site 131-2A.
The tower was built upon a private estate leased by the government during WW2 and was returned to the private owner after the war. Many such towers are today used by their private owners as lookouts, recreational space, or storage facilities. Many have been equipped with new windows and doors, and have been given more functional bulkhead doors to their roofs, replacing the simpler wartime trapdoors. Most of these towers in Massachusetts have been survived relatively intact, but many similar towers in New Hampshire and Maine have not fared as well, giving way to golf courses, hotel complexes, or private home development. |
