Gurnet Point MR

Built in 1943 on the ramparts of Fort Andrews (1776), this three story Fire Control Station for Battery 208 at Fourth Cliff MR was the most southern station for the Harbor Defenses of Boston. It was located on a 4.5 acre plot owned by the Coast Guard. The station is a strange design with two observation levels separated by a floor with large rectangular windows. The rear section of the structure consisted of the entrance and a generator. The station was stripped of all it's equipment immediately after WW2. A Pilgrim Atomic power plant siren was installed on the station in 1980. The station most likely was destroyed in 1998 when the nearby lighthouse was moved away from the bluff or it fell off the bluff due to erosion. Today there are no remains and most of the rampart the tower was located on has eroded away. Located at Gurnet Point, Plymouth Massachusetts.
