Size:  124.9 KBThis old tower, once a windmill, then a lighthouse, overlooks the St. Lawrence near Prescott. It was the setting for a skirmish during the 1837-38 Rebellion in Upper Canada. A lot easier to repair now than way back then.

    What a cool old building that is! It's nice you have a shot without the workmen as well.

    Just to be contrary, I like the first one. All the work it takes to keep historical/working sites in good shape.

    Cool looking old building and I like seeing the structure under repair but I prefer the last one as the portrait of a building

    It's nice to see that they are preserving those old structures but I think I prefer the last one without the worker there.
