On this day, July 3, in 2000, the 137th anniversary of the end of the bloodiest battle of the Civil War, CDI brought down the National Tower. Notice the interesting interleaving rod construction of the tower, reminiscent of US battleships fighting tops during the inter-war era.

I went to the Long Bottom memorial and the demolition of the tower was a subject of conversation among the re-enactors that year. A good friend among the re-enactors hated to see it go.
