This giant, metal monstrosity can be accessed from E. Cottage Avenue. It is located in the back yard of a home, not exactly on their property but close enough to annoy. Neighbors are nosy so you will most likely have to explain why you are on the street looking up.

Hear is the narrative from the Coast and Geodetic Survey from 1933:

IT IS A BLACK CYLINDRICAL STEEL STANDPIPE WITH A WHITE BAND AROUND THE TOP. THERE IS A PLATFORM AND FENCE AROUND THE TOP. IT IS ABOUT 25 FEET IN DIAMETER AND 115 FEET HIGH.
