The spiral staircase climbing the inside of Lawson Tower is the detail that sets this view apart, and the small donation sign at its base is a reminder that many historic towers in the region depended on visitor contributions for upkeep. Narrow iron or stone stairs like these were built to fit the tower's footprint, so climbing them is a slow, circular ascent with little light beyond the openings. Photographs of such interiors often record the wear on the treads and the handwritten or printed notices that reflected how these public structures were maintained.
