Frank, I found and purchased a document in the archives (HS-D00023) that describes an interlocking tower fireproofing program, listing the towers, some details of each (dimensions, other railroads) and dates of various milestones (materials ordered, work completed, etc.). According to this document, the work was started in 1942 (the first was Jack), and was still ongoing in 1943. 

It doesn’t explicitly address what the fireproofing work included. For my research, I assume this program was responsible for the application of asbestos shingle siding and metal staircase to Circleville's tower. Circleville already had a standing-seam metal roof prior to this program, but perhaps this was when Boyce received its new roof.
