I took this pic a couple of days ago. I could not get the Cobra close enough, so I just took the pic without it. This is not part of a castle but an old water tower located on the top of the Third Hill, also known as Forbes Hill, located in the Wollaston section of Quincy. The water tower was built around 1900 and held 330,000 gallons of water in addition to a reservoir that held up to five million gallons of water. Quincy presently receives it's drinking water from Quabbin Reservoir, about 75 miles away. During World War II, the Civil Air Patrol used the tower as an observation deck. This site is now used as a recreational area for soccer, dog walking, and other activities.
