rockford tower maze

Just a simple tower where I used the stones to create the pathways/walls. The tower is located in Rockford Park in Wilmington, Delaware. If you want to locate it, here is a Google Maps Pin to find it. The 115 foot tall stone tower was built from 1899-1902 and it contains a water tank and an observation tower. According to reviews the tower can de climbed on Sunday afternoons from 1pm.

Some information about Rockford Tower

The Tower includes a historical marker with the following inscription:

“In 1895, Theodore Leisen, engineer for the Wilmington Board of Park Commissioners, recommended that “a large pavilion and observatory” be built in Rockford Park on what was called Mt. Salem Hill, the highest point in the city at 330 feet above sea level. His proposal coincided with the Board of Water Commissioners‘ conclusion that Wilmington was in need of a new water tower in that neighborhood. The two boards merged their projects in Rockford Tower. Built between 1899 and 1902, the half-million-gallon water storage tank and observatory is constructed of natural field stone and is an example of the Italian Renaissance Revival style. Rockford Tower is 57 feet in diameter at the base, 75 feet high to the floor of the observatory, and reaches a total height of 115 feet.”
