Did Keene NH ever have a dispatching tower?

I doubt it. Keene at one time had a continuously open office at the passenger station. As train volumes declined it operated at reduced hours. After the end of passenger service and disposal of the station, whatever train order and dispatching functions that remained were moved over to the 1847 Cheshire RR freight house which was intact until just a few years ago. I managed to get into it in 1968 as a part of my duties with the Boston and Maine.
