Eliot Tower

The Great Blue Hill Observation Tower, known locally as Eliot Tower, is a historic stone tower located near the summit of Great Blue Hill in Milton, Massachusetts. The tower was built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and is a good example of the rustic architecture CCC projects

were known for. The 35-foot-tall (11 m) tower provides views of about 270°, with only the view toward the actual hill summit obscured by vegetation. The tower was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
