I found this while working on my NYC fallout shelter map.

I think the siren has since been removed. If you go up glenhill past Ramsey, it shows a tower in it's place. It could have been built around the siren, or the siren was removed and it was built. I thought it was an interesting find though.

That tower that 550 is on is pretty cool looking. Good find.
