The wwii pulpit rock tower
Pulpit Rock Tower, also known as Pulpit Rock Base-End Station (N. 142), is a historic military observation tower at 9 Davis Road in Rye, New Hampshire. The eight-story circular concrete tower was built in 1943 as part of a series of military defenses around Portsmouth, and is the only one of fourteen coastal observation posts to survive from the Second World War in the state. The tower stands 73 feet (22 m) high, and was during wartime connected to Fort Dearborn by telephone to relay observational measurements. The tower is now owned by the state of New Hampshire.
