Two towers stand in southern Michigan along US-12. At one time, they were popular attractions for the throngs of tourists that traveled through the Irish Hills area. The first tower was built in the 1920s. Outraged by the tower, Mr. Kelly that owned the other part of the hill built a taller tower and it became known as the spite tower by the locals. Over time the two towers were purchased by the same owner and a walkway was connected between them.
Originally the towers had observation platforms at the top. After the tourist industry declined the two towers fell into a state of disrepair. The upper potions had to be removed because they were structurally unsound. The bases have been repainted and still stand as a reminder of the days gone by.
