	Completed in 1943 for $7,825, this FC Station was built to look like a ~~simulated~~ cottage. The two concrete observing rooms were in a three-story tower attached to the wooden cottage which served as barracks for the 6 personnel serving the station. The structure received commercial power from Newport Electric Co. and could get auxiliary power from the nearby SCR 296A generator shelter. The top floor was a spare at the time of completion but was most likely going to serve Battery 111 which was supposed to be built at [[Fort Burnside]]. The lower level (Azimuth) served [[Fort Burnside\|Battery 213]]. The wooden cottage was removed in 1978 and around 1982 the concrete tower was removed.
