Built more than 100 years ago in the style of a medieval watch tower, the Lawson Tower in Scituate, Mass., is the result of one couple's efforts to beautify their landscape. The tower has withstood changes in ownership, natural weathering, and renovations, and its bells still ring out today across the South Shore.
