It didn't have a tower but I had an apartment in a Queen Anne style row house. Bay windows were the big thing for those. It also had 12' high tin ceilings. Great fun in the winter. It had regular two fireplaces plus one with a gas log.setup. When it got below zero I seriously contemplated burning the furniture. Then there were the french doors. The landlord gave me a deal and would buy the materials if I painted the place. Between the ceilings and French doors I lived to regret it. Even worse I picked rose and some sort of blue for the walls. A friend walked in and asked "Are you making a nursery?"
