Description
This 80' Aermotor MC-39 steel tower with 7’x7’ steel cab was constructed in 1935 by the CCC, during a period from 1912 through 1945 when architecture was intended to reflect the ethic of the land conservation movement. After the war the agency abandoned this criteria and adopted utilitarian styles that were not characteristic of the agency.
