Eleventh Hour: 1906
Circa 1906. "City Hall, Louisville, Kentucky." Our second look at this imposing edifice. 8x10 inch glass negative, Detroit Publishing Company. View full size.
Doubt it
1906 would be just a bit too early for a vertical antenna of this type. Transmitter frequencies were very low then and the aerials where HUGH, longwire affairs.
[Note the use of masts in Marconi's Cape Cod installation in 1902. - tterrace]
...and considerably more substantial than what we have here - jk
Antenna for what?
Surely that isn't a radio antenna on the top of that building, is it?
[A wireless mast would not be unusual for the period. - tterrace]
