1975. The
station was funded in 1910 by the NH Timberland Owners, with additional funding
from the NH Forestry Commission. A new tower was constructed in 1916, and another
in 1939. In 1948 the WMNF Administrative Atlas described it as 40' high, type
CT-3, cab type R-7, built in 1939 (by the CCC.) It remained in service until 1967,
and was removed in 1975. | |
