Modernist Tower Designs -- Old Towers and One Brand New One

Glassell Park will be dedicating a new wireless cell phone tower that was designed, according to the engineers, to look like other towers in the community.  Take a look at some existing towers and see the new tower at the end of this post.












This is the new cell phone tower for Glassell Park designed in a streamline moderne style.

Footnote:  With this new tower Glassell Park continues a tradition of erecting community "markers."  As noted in the introduction to the NE Community Plan:  "In recent years Glassell Park has increased its visibility and identity in Northeast Los Angeles. . . . Moreover, the community has erected attractive monument signs in the median of Eagle Rock Boulevard to announce itself to passing motorists."
