I was the extra duty operator at Montauk many times. It was a home run of a tour. I've seen that hotel which still stands today. The hotel has some interesting stories of its own. I'd post a link but I forgot its name. Something with an "M"?
Morris Park had a tower of its own, Dunton. Some operators called it "Fort Apache". It was surrounded by tracks with no easy way to get anywhere.
I had beaucoup negatives of towers and equipment long gone. My ex-wife liked the container they were in and pitched them. I regret not deciding to give them to Arrt's Arrchives before realizing they were already gone.
 

Is that Montauk Manor is the background of the 2nd picture?




I have stayed there a couple of times... Some complain that it gives off a nursing home vibe, but I like it.
