Description
The original version of Rehobeth Fire Tower was a 28’ steel tower with a 8’x8’ cab on nearby Richmond Hill in 1912. In 1916 the structure was moved to Great Meadow Hill and a 12’ extension and spiral staircase were added. The present 68’ steel tower with 10’x10’ wooden cab was built in 1931. In 1955 the U.S. Army requested it be moved and it was reconstructed at its present location on Long Hill.
