    Nice lighting on it Jacob.

    Wonder why they tore it down?

    I shot this thing in May 2022 when I went to get my dog from a rescue nearby. I took a minute to drive in and get the shot – you can see it better when there’s minimal foliage too.

    Strange they tore it down, it’s solid metal..

    I reached out to North Huron and all they know is the owner decided to remove it. Private owner, but not confirmed if individual or organization/group.

    Back in the 70s I shot this with the station as well; and I don’t know if I took any images of the tower after that. Shame on me.
    I never thought it would be removed though. I thought it would be part of the town’s heritage.
