This is the Romeo and Juliet tower, constructed in the late 1800s to bring water to a school on the site. Its unique design ensured that the two, entwined structures would stand for many decades. Indeed, because they are together, they are stronger and more wind-resistant than either would have been were it standing on its own.
Love the texture and color. This tour is on my bucket list.
ReplyDeleteThanks for bringing this to my attention. I, too, love the texture and will enjoy a virtual tour via Google! Looking forward to more photos.

ReplyDeleteHe really seems to have been a prick in his personal life, but built such fine things. Never been to the eastern compound.
