65 foot tall, 1/4" angle steel, erector set style fire tower built on the summit of Bluff Mountain in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee at an elevation of aprox 4700 feet. There use to be windows in the tower cabin but they are gone and it is almost always windy. The steps and decking were replaced 10 years ago.
