Local legend claims this three-story tower was deliberately built to block a neighbor's view after a feud, earning it the name Spite Tower. Historical research indicates the much less dramatic truth: it was constructed around 1905 as a water tower supplying gravity-fed plumbing to the adjacent estate. The structure is private property but visible from the public road. Secondary source: https://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/77134
