United States Navy Radio Direction Finder Station, San Pedro

The station was built circa 1919 and demolished sometime after 1947 leaving only the concrete foundation, which has a two-foot-high crawlspace with ventilation windows. A wood deck was added and provided the platform for the LAFD Lookout Post located there today.
