Giant Padlock and Chain

Unfortunately this was removed before one of the recent hurricanes and was never put back up. In the past it was taken down then put back, but it's been gone for quite some time now.

Giant Lock and Chain

On the side of the Fortress Storage building is a giant lock and chain. Easily seen from Interstate 93. Apparently the company stores valuable items.
