Prouts Neck MR

In 1943 construction on a seven floor tower on the South Side of Prouts Neck started in Scarborough Maine for the defense of Casco Bay during WW2. The tower had four observation levels and a Anti Aircraft Post on top of the tower. It was designed to look like a lighthouse and is the most interesting tower built in Maine due to the strange design. The tower had many strange features including a balcony and four observation levels which is not usually found in a Fire Control tower. It was used for the 6 inch gun battery at Cape Elizabeth MR as well as Peaks Island MR and Jewell Island MR.
