Worcester’s Norse Tower Torn Down as a Safety Hazard |
| Subject |
Norse Tower |
| Description |
The photograph in the article shows the wrecking ball team destroying the tower. The town wasn’t able to grab the same attention as it had gotten in 1929 and therefore, the tower was finally ordered destroyed. As the tower came down, the town’s attention turned to the next landmark planned for demolition, the Green Hill Mansion. |
