Stroud is a town of 2,758 people and 12.5 square miles. It's a small town halfway between Tulsa and Oklahoma City. I don't know how big it would have been back in the day though. Maybe around 1000 people.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroud,_Oklahoma

The tower with the P-15 on it is at North 9th Ave and West 7th Street in northwest Stroud. It's a little south of the intersection between two houses. North 9th is a tiny dirt road that curves right in front of the tower. They have two P-15s, the STH-10, and a 2T22 at 4th and Harrison also.

Personally, that tower platform doesn't look big enough to me to have a Chrysler on it. It was just a guess.

Cool pics, Dillon. I'm glad you got the help you needed.

As for the tower, I'm gonna have to go with Eric G on this one...looks like an old microwave tower. But it is a very cool installation, nevertheless. I would say it probably could survive the wind if it were installed out here on the good old plains of West Texas. :wink:

Thanks! Wasn't sure if they had another siren in that part of town. My coverage map seemed to be lacking one in that area. I poked around on Streetview and found nothing around there a while ago

I just came across it when I was looking for that P-15 on the tower.

Great pictures. The picture of the P-15 on the tower is quite interesting. It looks sort of eerie, with the civil defense building and all.
