  2. Recognized as a National Historic Landmark, the Watchtower was constructed in 1932. Architect Mary Colter’s design takes its influences from the architecture of the Ancestral Puebloan people of the Colorado Plateau. This particular tower was patterned after those found at Hovenweep and the Round Tower of Mesa Verde.

    The structure is composed of a circular coursed masonry tower rising from a rubble base. The base was intentionally designed to convey a partly ruinous appearance, perhaps of an older structure on which the watchtower was later built. The base is arranged within a large circle with the tower to the north.

    Though the tower appears to be stone, its structure is steel and concrete. Inside, it is completely plastered, with murals covering the walls. Heavy furnishings made from large pieces of wood and rawhide add to the rustic appearance.
