Institute Tower with Horse and Bicycle

Subject

Norse Tower

Description

An early photo of the Tower shortly after it was built. Note the benches and metal ladder in the center. At the time parks were thought of as places of enlightenment and self refinement. These man-made ruins, known as “folleys” were designed with no purpose but for provoking such thoughts.
