Texas Tower 1 was a planned Texas Tower that was to be located on Cashes Ledge, 100 miles (160 km) off the coast of New Hampshire in 36 feet (11 m) of water.[1] The 4604th Support Group, Otis Air Force Base, Massachusetts was supported by nearby Pease Air Force Base. The United States Air Force approved the construction of Tower #1 on January 11, 1954, but the tower was never completed because of improvements to radar over the area.
