Tower Question

[Shawn Mamros]

When looking right at the street view for 144 Gould Street, you can see the 350 Cedar Street tower in the background to the right.  Channels 4 and 5 are on this tower, and I know Channel 2 at least used to be (are they still?).

Turning around the view, I see two towers.  The closer one I think may be 1165 Chestnut Street, which I think is the one that at least used to be called FM-128 - it used to be Channel 5's tower when it was WHDH-TV, before the license was given to WCVB.  The one in the distance is the Channel 7 tower on Tower Road.  Assuming these are right, 140 Cabot Street (which would be, or at least used to be, known as the Candelabra) would be to the right of these, but the view here is blocked by the hill and the billboard.

There are four tall towers near that address, three of them uniform
cross-section guyed towers owned by American Tower: 350 Cedar Street,
Needham; 140 Cabot Street, Needham; 1165 Chestnut Street, Newton; and the
fourth, a self-supporter located on Tower Road (where else?), Newton. This
last used to be owned by Channel 7, its sole tenant; I don't know who owns
it today.
