| web page C - Mount Hope, end of Haffeneffer Rd ((unk) abandoned) [{Mandeville, P}IFC area is now used by Brown University as a museum some buildings still remain. The former radar area is hard to find as the entrance is overgrown with vegatation and the road thougth in good shape is very narrow due to over growth of trees. Once up the road aways you come to the entrance gate which is locked, I dont know why, because all traces of any buildings or towers have been removed and all that remains is an overgrown open field.] [{McGrath, J} IFC/ Admin Area has not been taken over as a Brown University museum! The museum predates the site. The site was located to the south of the museum on Mount Hope (the actual mount itself!)
