Notes

  • 1910 -1967. Razed 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.
