Lotta hits, no replies on this one. It's the Jenny Lind Tower in N. Truro. It was part of a railroad building in (don't quote me here) Fitchburg, MA (???) which was being torn down and this guy, Henry Eldrich, had it dismantled stone by stone and rebuilt in the Highlands. Rumor had it that Jenny Lind, the "Swedish Nightengale, of whom Henry was a fan, had once sung to an enraged crowd from the tower after a nearby concert hall had sold out for her performance.
At least that's what my dad used to tell me as a kid once each summer for roughly the first 20 years of my life when we'd drive down to P'town for the day. It's etched in my brain.
