A tall stone tower rises above the treeline, its top cut into crenellations, the notched battlements borrowed from medieval fortifications. Towers like this were a common sight in Massachusetts during the nineteenth century, when Gothic Revival and castle-inspired designs gave churches, schools, and other public buildings a dramatic silhouette. The record does not name the specific site, so its builder and purpose remain unknown here. The contrast between solid masonry and the soft green canopy around it is still worth a close look.
