Alpine is home to thetower and laboratory built byEdwin Howard Armstrong afterRCA evicted him from theEmpire State Building. Armstrong's experimental FM station,W2XMN, used various frequencies to broadcast from the tower, first on 42.8MHz; later on 44.1 MHz; and finally on 93.1 MHz in the modernFM band. The laboratory building and the tower still stand; the 400-foot (122-m) tower is home to many two-way radio users, one modern FM station (Fairleigh Dickinson University'sWFDU), and backup transmitters for several of New York's television stations. The tower served as a primary tower for the stations after theSeptember 11 terrorist attacks destroyed theWorld Trade Center.[116]
There was some local opposition to this scheme, but the move was temporary, as the stations affected moved their primary broadcast facilities to the Empire State Building. The original lab building is home to a static display of historic communications equipment and offices; theUSA Network cable channel operated from this building in the late 1970s.
Rio Vista is an upscale neighborhood in the southern section of Alpine. Rio Vista is home to Devil's Tower, a stone water tower that is claimed to be haunted. It was originally designed byCharles Rollinson Lamb for sugar baronManuel Rionda (1854–1943) in order to allow his wife to see New York from the New Jersey side of theHudson River. The legend has it that when his wife saw him with another woman, she committed suicide by jumping off the tower.[117]
After becoming upset over his wife's death, Rionda stopped all work on the tower.[117] In reality Harriet Rionda died of natural causes in 1922 and was interred nearby for approximately 20 years. Her coffin was moved toBrookside Cemetery, Englewood. The estate was later sub-divided into 197 housing sites consisting of miles of roadway, infrastructure, and related facilities in the mid-1980s.[32][118]
