Station Point Allerton

Station Point Allerton was a coastal military installation established in the early 20th century near Hull, Massachusetts. Strategically located at the northern tip of Nantasket Peninsula, the station played a key role in harbor defense, particularly during World War II, as part of the Harbor Defenses of Boston. It was equipped with observation posts, searchlights, and anti-motor torpedo boat batteries to monitor and protect Boston Harbor from potential enemy vessels. After the war, advancements in military technology and changing defense priorities led to the deactivation of Station Point Allerton, and the site was eventually returned to civilian use.
