This is a unique tower to lower Alabama. it is actually a double cab tower.
As described on the National Historic Registry “There is no other lookout cab like Underwood Lookout Tower in the 900+ listings on the NHLR. Constructed in 1938, the Alabama Forestry Commission builders stopped at 60′ where the sloped legs measured 14’x14′ at the top, instead of 90′ where a 7’x7′ cab would be mounted. Two 7′ wide sections of a metal cab were joined on each of the four sides creating a unique 14’x14′ cab.”
