I doubt it's a roof vent considering that it's got a deflector around it.
I dont know maybe it is maybe it isnt I saw a what looked to be a k-5 in some town in Minnesota I forgot but I look closer and its just a stack for smoke odd shape for it to be a smoke stack.

Could it be a sparton? It has the louvered sides, but the top intake is different. Calvin Mayer on YouTube has the only known model 37 that's preserved, but sparton did make other models.

Also there seem to be some sort of electrical conduit going to it, which either could indicate that it's a got a fan inside (such as an attic fan thingy) or it's indeed a siren, but from the dimensions alone I'm not certain which one.

That would be an exhaust fan. It's okay, I thought they were sirens too :lol:

that doesn't look like a siren to me... it's you're sure it is a siren, it is probably a siren housed in a roof vent, most like a model x.

That almost looks like part of a sterling K-5

I'm just about 99.999% sure that thing is an exhaust fan.

Doubt it's a vent. It wouldn't make much sense to direct exhaust in a single direction like that.
