Tower

 


Eliot Tower, a 35-foot-tall (11 m) stone structure, was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) between 1933 and 1944.  


The tower offers a view of about 270°, including all of Boston, Boston Harbor, and much of the South Shore.

Eliot Tower


 Built in 1904 as a tribute to Charles Eliot the famous Landscape Architect who was instrumental in preserving the Blue Hills Reservation, little has been done since to maintain the Eliot Tower and Memorial Bridge. A complete restoration, however, is now, finally, in progress.
