My company recently moved to another location in Arlington Ma (on the Cambridge/Somerville line). One of my co-workers is also a history aficionado & asked me to come with him & check out what he thought was a WWII era air raid siren on top of a telephone pole next to our bldg. That's what it is alright. We found out that our bldg was owned by a telephone co in the 1920s & 30s.
I wonder how many of these are out there, but no one remembers what they were for.
