    The Desert View Watchtower was constructed in 1932 and is recognized as a National Historic Landmark1. The tower is composed of a circular coursed masonry tower rising from a rubble base, which was intentionally designed to convey a partly ruinous appearance2. The tower's design takes its influences from the architecture of the Ancestral Puebloan people of the Colorado Plateau, and was patterned after those found at Hovenweep and the Round Tower of Mesa Verde1. Though the tower appears to be stone, its structure is steel and concrete, and inside, it is completely plastered, with murals covering the walls3.
