Description: This tower, built over a deep well at 4 Old Harbor Road in the hamlet of Adamsville in Little Compton, Rhode Island, has connected to it a number of local legends, all of which purport that the tower was built by a resident out of spite to block the line of sight of a neighbor. In actuality, the tower included a well house, a water tank, and quarters for a chauffer. (Sources: [1], [2])
