Bancroft Tower is a 56-foot-high (17 m) tower of granite and natural stone, which looks like a miniature feudal castle. It is in Salisbury Park, in the city of Worcester, Massachusetts. The folly was erected in 1900, in memory of George Bancroft, a native of Worcester and a politician, historian, and statesman. The tower was designed by Worcester architects Earle and Fisher,[2] and cost about $15,000 to build.[3] Bancroft Tower is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1]
