Description

This tower is a 100ft  Aermotor LS-40.  Online resources indicate that the land for the tower was obtained in 1942, and the tower was erected in 1943. There are only light amounts of graffiti across the tower, and it is in decent condition, however some wood planks are wobbly. It is only climbable to the top, just beneath the cabin. There is no functioning catwalk, only a locked hatch door that leads into the cab. Condition of the cab is unknown.
