== FC Station ==

This station constructed in late 1943 was originally to be used for Battery ~~101~~ at [[~~Cape Elizabeth MR~~]] but the battery was never built so it was used for Battery 103 at [[Fort Dearborn]] in Rye NH. The station was built on a .32 acre tract of land leased by the government and was originally disguised as a beach cottage like many FC Stations. In the 1960s the station was purchased by Garnsey bros. rentals who added the current structure to the tower and decorated it as a lighthouse. The building has been their office since 1965. As of 2022 the station is closed to the public but can be photographed from the outside.<gallery>
