Historical MN Sirens Map

Some more things I would like to point out about the map:
1. New Richland street view is now up to date, and you can see the cyclone is gone.


2. The supposed location of the screamer on Eagle Creek Blvd. in Shakopee is true, just change the street view date to 2014 or older.

It was located where the 2001 is at Little Newtons Daycare

I found another screamer in Lanesboro next to the bp, most likely removed.

I've looked into some of your undetermined sirens and found no notable pieces of evidence except one:

Lowry, MN
The siren on the water tower was also an Eclipse-8, as soon by this streetview from August 2018. The shape of the siren does not change between the 2009 and 2018 imagery, so it is likely that it was an Eclipse back then.

All relevant changes have been made, thanks to all of you for the help. As a side note, that Shakopee screamer was one of the first markings on the map, and I hadn't started to use street view imagery yet at that point, so thanks for reminding me of that as well.

I'm finally back in Lanesboro, and I finally got photos proving that the downtown screamer is gone. Sorry if the photos are kinda blurry, as I did not have my good camera on at the moment. I will try to see if the other one is gone.





Side note, the FD is now called "The Spot". Just thought I'd share that.

I will try to see if the other one is gone.

I was not able to see if the other screamer is gone ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Here is another one from conusvideo. It was a Darley Model 5/7 in Keewatin. It was located on the water tower, but it demolished along with the Darley at an unknown date and replaced by a new tower. The siren went off 6 times a day and the family next to the tower sued the city over it. Circa 1984 according to the website.

mods, don't approve this, I just realized someone already said it.

Yes, this is where the soundmaster was in Plymouth. Thanks!
