What it says

BANCROFT TOWER · WORCESTER, MASS. · 1900

Why it's a Worcester thing

In 1900 Stephen Salisbury III put a 56-foot stone castle on the hill in Salisbury Park to honor George Bancroft, the Worcester kid who grew up to found the U.S. Naval Academy. Bancroft was born at the foot of that very hill.

Three towers went up on Worcester's hills back then. This is the only one still standing. Stubborn, made of granite, great view. Sounds about right.
