Maybe built as part of Frederick Law Olmsted's design for Hills and Dales that was commissioned by John H. Patterson of NCR between 1907-1910. But could have also been a WPA or CWA project during the 1930's? No one seems to know for sure. Supposedly closed the first time in the 1960's when a couple teenagers were electrocuted by the hand railing during a thunderstorm. Personally, I think they closed it because everyone used it for a toilet. Also known as Witch's Tower or Frankenstein's Castle. A teenage girl was killed by lightning there in May of 1967, which led to it's eventual closing (although I'm sure I was inside in 1970 or 1971?)
