Not much is known about this site currently, but it served as an AAIS OP until the tower (built 1930) was dismantled in 1944 and brought to West Falmouth to replace the Fire Tower at [[West Falmouth Fire Tower Loc 58A|Loc 58A]] in 1946. Loc 58A was also only for AAIS OP.<br /> <br /> 41.4167° N, 70.6175° W.</div>
