A separate residence was built below the tower in 1930 with a garage added in 1931. This lookout is currently not being utilized and is closed to the public.

not marked

-didn't realize it was closed. take care if climbing it -rotten wood, strong steel. good view apparently. windy .lots of vandalism, broken glass, just random destruction. sad that people are so bored that they find pleasure in ruining historical structures
