After getting my sticker on Wednesday, I drove around the town of Scituate which is about 20 miles south of my home. Very high class and expensive town, located on the Atlantic Ocean.
I traveled on many roads that I have never been on before, just to see what I could find. I found this tower on a side road. Amazing since I have passed this site within a 1/4 mile maybe a few dozen times but could not see it thru all the trees.
Picture from what is considered the front side ...
... and a picture of the rear side. The shot was taken in the back parking lot of a church that abuts the property.
It is called the "Lawson Tower". It is a 153 foot tall water tank. The wife of the owner hated the look of the bland water tower so they had it covered and put on a roof. It also has a clock room and a bell tower. Its now a part of the town Historical Committee and they just had it re-shingled in 2005. I'm sure the cost to re-shingle it was very expensive. For additional info, just do a Google for "Lawson Tower". OK class, there will be a test next Friday!
