• The tower was built in association with the Cannon Mountain Tramway.
• The steel tower had been on display at the Eastern States Exposition in Springfield MA in 1951, and was removed to the Cannon site after the Exposition closed. It was removed from service in 1981, and remains tucked under the guy wires of the new summit observation deck and radio-television tower.
• The tower was removed in the fall of 2007 because it had deteriorated to the point where it couldn't be saved.
