Description

This 100' Aermotor MC-39 steel tower with 7'x7' steel cab was erected in 1948 by Alabama Forestry Commission personnel as one of two constructed for fire protection measures for Lee County. A second tower, Salem Lookout Tower, was built the following year in 1949 but has since been dismantled, making this tower the only surviving historic firetower in Lee County.
