Two brownstone towers on the highest headland on the eastern seaboard, the first American light fitted with a Fresnel lens, the great glass beehive that threw a beam twenty miles out. Marconi built a wireless station beside them in 1899 to report the America's Cup races by radio to newspapers on shore, one of the first practical uses of the thing in the country.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
