Aircraft Warning Service Observation Tower
Aircraft Warning Service Observation Tower, Military observation tower in Agnew, United States.
The Aircraft Warning Service Observation Tower is a three-story wooden structure with exterior staircases and large windows on its top level. The tower features a surrounding observation balcony designed for clear views across the landscape.
The tower was built in 1941 and served as a spotting station during World War II to monitor potential Japanese aircraft. It was part of a nationwide air defense network that protected the western United States.
The tower served as a gathering point where neighbors took turns watching the skies together as part of the war effort. This shared responsibility connected the community to national defense in a direct and personal way.
The tower is located at 216 Spring Road in Agnew and stands as the only remaining Aircraft Warning Service facility in the county. Visitors should approach it carefully as it is a historic structure that has been preserved for its age and significance.
The structure was moved from its original location near Dungeness to its current site in 1992 to prevent deterioration. This relocation allowed the original wooden tower to survive and remain accessible to visitors today.
