Description: This photo, taken in February, 2010, looks west from the southwest tip of East Point, near the former platform of Battery 206 Gun 1. It shows the twin 8-story fire control towers along Swallow Cave Rd. in Nahant, MA. When they were built in 1943 the towers were each about 70 ft. tall, putting the observing instruments in their top levels almost 109 ft. above sea level. The tower on the right was designated Site 1A and that on the left Site 2A. Today the towers are privately owned. They are perhaps the best-preserved pair of Coast Artillery towers in the United States.
