Should not be deleted. The Heublein Tower is a well known feature of the Farmington Valley in Connecticut. It has been the subject of countless newspaper articles over the years. Wiki article just needs some expanding.

I'm new to Wilipedia so please bear with me.

The Heublein tower is a Connecticut landmark that is known by many since it is so prominent. It is also the subject of much curiousity which is one reason why I thought it should be included. The Talcott Mtn State Park in which the tower sits is relatively unknown so I think that putting the tower listing under the park listing would be counterproductive.

The tower is notable for several reasons: --It was built by whiskey magnate Heublein. --It is shaped like an A1 steak sauce bottle, a product of Heublein. --It was designed by a famous architectural firm. --Its heavy duty construction is noteworthy from an engineering standpoint. --It is last of three towers at that location, the previous two being destroyed by fire. --As mentioned in the article, it plays a role in CT radio history. --There is a society (link provided) that exists solely for the preservation of the tower.
