Oh my! Was that an old fire department siren? It's not too far from the municipal building, where they had a Thunderbolt 1000 for years.

There are probably still several more hidden gems around Hamilton County...

I could see how it perhaps be mistaken for some electrical equipment to the untrained eye. Not saying it ever was but I'm just taking a guess that could be why it wasn't known about all that much.
