“also known as the Newport Tower”
Perched atop a hill in Newport, Rhode Island, an old stone tower stands as one of this country's longest enduring architectural enigmas. Known by many names, including the Viking Tower, Old Stone Mill, and Mystery Tower, today this landmark is more commonly known as the Newport Tower.
I'd love to know what this thing is. There are spots where there were clearly wooden beams at one point, but have long rotted away. If you like old architecture this is a cool little curiosity. You can sit and wonder what in the world it once was used for.
It looks like it has been fenced in now, but when I was there we were able to walk around within the tower.
