This site on the Durham/Higganum line in CT utilized two large microwave towers, one about 240' tall and the other about 365' tall. The towers were serviced by a surprisingly large concrete building which was semi-hardened against a distant nuclear detonation. The facility included a decontamination shower, chemical, biological and radiological air filtration systems and a system that would automatically seal off the building when a nuclear detonation was detected. Indeed, it was the various system of blast valves, blast shutters and the equipment that controlled them that impressed us most about this facility.

AT&T has moved out and the microwave paths are no longer in use but at one point there were paths to Montville, Lyme, New Haven, Bethany, West Peak and Hartford.
