Using Street View, the tower looks pretty solid at the base, little rust,
but all the bolts are intact. Based on the QSL card, I tried to find the 2nd
tower's foundation in Google Earth and in Street View, but there is a tree
in the way. The house was built in 1915. The present owner should remove the
dead vines hanging off the lower portion...

Condition of the tower sure seems precarious. I'm surprised the city,
historic area or not, would not see it as a potential hazard. Would sure
be interesting to see some detailed history about it however.
