Marker150- The radome was built in the 40's by a fellow named Colonel Edward Howland Green and was the only remaining high frequency radio antenna left on the property. Originaly erected by MIT for studying radio frequencies afer WW2 it became a nautical landwmark synonymous with the harbor of Padanaram. It sat on private property and had been privaetly maintained until the death of the previous owner of the property. Now in new owners hands the 'radome' as it was called wsa said to require extensive repair so its come down to make way for a new home.

from what I hear, the previous owner's son sold out because he couldn't get on a committee at round hill...who knows, either way I dont think the radome had to go...they made 3 6' x 8' (approx.) holes in the base and left it for 4 days in winds up to 45kts. I think it could have lasted much longer...just my $.02.

It was a DoD project back then and they could do whatever they wanted. Guy paid $8.5MM for 11 acres of land...he is demolishing the house and rebuilding a very nice home.
