Loc. 152 Bald Head Cliff was a WWII Fire Control site on Bald Head Cliff in Ogunquit ME.

Bald Head Cliff from Ogunquit

Built in 1944 on a .37-acre tract of land for Battery 103/Seaman at Fort Dearborn this station was located on the grounds of the Cliff House Hotel in York Maine. A concrete building disguised as a garage was built to hold a water tank near the station. After the war in 1947 the hotel reopened with the tower on the property. In the early 1960s a swimming pool was built next to the station and in 1964 it was dismantled for new construction. Today the site of the station is mostly covered by a new section of the hotel.
