Comments: | 100' Diagonal Stair Steel Tower - site may be on private propety, fence across access road with no trespassing signs. Tower has two bottom landings removed to prevent climbing. Overall wood condition looks poor - several missing boards on landings. There is a small old TN Dept of Forestry shed (10 x 12) on site, which is locked. It appears that tower has not been in use for a good number of years. |
