This reminds me of the arson portrayed in "The Prestige," which seems to me to be a conflation Tesla's Colorado and New York periods. http://tinyurl.com/theprestige-on-amazon

Morgan & Westinghouse, http://educate-yourself.org/fe/radiantenergystory.shtml 
Morgan had already orchestrated circumstances in Tesla’s life in order to force Tesla to be dependent on him for financial backing. During an earlier period, when Tesla himself had millions from his Polyphase AC generator royalty payments and other earnings, Morgan wanted to woo Tesla with a deal that effectively gave Morgan majority control over his patent rights and projects, but Tesla turned him down, telling Morgan that he had enough money of his own to fund his projects.  While returning to his hotel from that very meeting with Morgan, however, Tesla was told that his laboratory had been burned to the ground. It represented a tremendous loss to Tesla and it shook him deeply. Everyone, of course, felt convinced that Morgan was behind the arson. In order to save face, Morgan was embarrassed by Tesla into putting up the money to pay for the rebuilding of a new lab as an act of “philanthropy”. From that time forward, however, other financial backers were not to be found. Morgan was powerful enough to black list Tesla among the Eastern Establishment elites that previously had hobnobbed and feted with Tesla as if he was one of their own. Black listing and ostracization by officialdom and financiers lifted somewhat after Morgan’s death, but generally continued to haunt Tesla for the rest of his life.

U.S. Blows Up Tesla Radio Tower

at Shoreham, L. I., about twenty years ago by Nikola Tesla, the
Federal Government ordered the tower destroyed and it was recently
demolished with dynamite. During the past month several strangers had
been seen lurking about the place....
