BRAMLEY MOUNTAIN
Delaware County
October 8, 1950: "The work crew, now that the tower is finished, will concentrate their efforts on the construction of a cabin for the Bramley Mountain observer. The foundation has already been laid out, but cold weather will postpone completion until next year.
When the cabin is ready and the new observer moves in to take over his job, he'll have just 96 steps to travel to reach his 'office' from his front yard. That's the number of steps in the climb from the ground to the tower room. But first, the district will have to select and hire the observer." (Press and Sun-Bulletin)

The fire was discovered at approximately 2:15 p.m. by Bernard Barrett, whose house adjoins the Tweedie property.
Smoke from the fire was seen from the fire tower atop Bramley Mountain several miles to the north." (The Oneonta Star)
