[1] Ground was broken for the site on April 9, 1913, by the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company of America.President Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points speech was transmitted to Europe from the New Brunswick Naval Radio Station in 1918.[4] After the war, ownership of the station, along with Marconi's other US assets, were transferred from the Navy to RCA.[5] The antenna masts were demolished in 1952 to make room for what is now a small mall containing a Kmart, but the buildings on the other side of JFK Boulevard were spared.The bricks and tiles were saved for use in any future restoration of the spared building at 1100 Easton Avenue in Somerset, NJ, and the Marconi facility in Belmar, New Jersey.
