Built for Battery 103/Seamen in Rye New Hampshire this small Fire Control Station was built in 1943 under the permission of the Fish and Game Department on The Parker River Wildlife Refuge (Est. 1942). It had one observation level and an Anti-Aircraft observation Hatch. This Station was designated Location 137A. After the war it was used with explosives which the national guard would use in the early 1950s to demolish the tower. I visited this site, and it is nearly impossible to get to.
