One thing that has not been discussed is that there is the reminant of a long granite wall out behind where this "structure" is. Are they related? I cannot be positive but I lean toward that they may be. Was there some sort of estate there many many years ago and this is all that is left?
As far as the trees being there now - I imagine that there were none when this tower and wall were built.
What is the history of this land? Anyone know? There is history that has been discussed here before regarding Govenors Island itself.
I have driven through the area and cannot see any other structure relating to the tower or wall.
