Very nostalgic about these type of events, make me think back to those days and
what it was like as they say the good old days!

Subject: [TowerTalk] 700 ft tower atop Hilton Milwaukee to come down
This article includes a bit of history of the beginning of UHF TV broadcasting
in the early 1950s:

The tower was installed long after the building was constructed. One has to
wonder if additional structural support was added to the building's roof in
order to support this very heavy structure. Just imagine the amount of torque
placed on the roof during high winds.
