“The original tower was built in 1924 here at Kennonwood, property belonging to W. K. Henderson. The first studio was in the residence of W. K. Henderson with the transmitter in a small frame building near the tower. The present art deco radio transmitter building and house for the chief engineer were built in 1939 on the same site. Two of the engineers of KWKH, Stedman Gunning, who began in 1932 and O. S. Droke in 1935, worked a combined 89 years at the station.
