The best concealment of a water tower I have seen. It does look like it belongs in Germany. All we need is a girl with seriously long hair to play Rapunzel!
Magnificent piece of art.
It is a nice place. It has a big field to play soccer. Football or walk and run. The tower is impressive. It was closed, but the maintenance man told me they open it on summer time
Lawson Tower is a historic tower built in the style of a European castle turret. Built in 1902 to enclose a steel water tank, it is a major local landmark. The Scituate Water Company stopped using the tank in 1988. The tower is listed as both an American Water Landmark and in the National Register of Historic Places. It has become a popular tourist site, featuring sweeping views of the South Shore, Old Scituate Light, Minots Ledge Light and the Boston skyline.
I have been inside before, but if you post a more easily accessible list of dates the site is open, it would be better.
Views and bells!
