self supporting TV towers

[Lou]

I used to work at the Polaroid site on Kendrick St. down in that area of Needham in the very late 70s.  Upon exiting the factory into the parking lot, all you could see was a huge tower directly across the way.  FM radio reception was wiped-out with the exception of two stations.  I believe one was WVBF, 105.7.

Not sure when the hotel was built, but I became aware of its
existence in the mid-'70s when it was the "Needham Motor
Inn". Then, it was the "Park Tower Motor Inn" for a short 
time in the late '70s or early '80s, then I think it went from
that name to the Sheraton Needham. I recall seeing the 
candelabra tower being built in the late '60s, but I don't
know whether the hotel was there yet at that time.
