The Old Norse Tower, Newport, Rhode Island, USA, c1900. Building previously thought to have been of Viking origin, and therefore evidence of pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact. However it has been established that it is in fact the remains of a mid-17th century windmill. From Scenic Marvels of the New World edited by Prof. Geo.R. Cromwell. [C.N.Greig & Co., c1900]
