Fire Control Tower
The tower is just north of Battery 234. This is a reinforced concrete coastal defense battery completed in 1943 to guard the entrance to Pensacola Bay. This included a central magazine and control facilities, two armored gun shields, and a fire control tower. However, the two 6-inch (152 mm) guns to be installed were never delivered. The two guns we see now were mounted for display here in 1976. The battery is located about 800 yards (720 meters) Southeast of the old Fort Pickens. Abandoned in 1945, it's now a historical relic. Near Pensacola, Florida.
