Figured this was the best place for this:

While stumbling through links on Wikipedia, I found that one of the towers from the old Fitchburg Railway Depot, demolished in the mid to late 1920's to make way for the Boston Garden, made its way to Truro, on the Outer Cape. Now called Jenny Lind Tower, the story goes that Jenny Lind sang to an adorning crowd from one of the station's towers, as the concert was completely sold out. In 1927 a fan of hers who owned the land in Truro had the tower reconstructed out there.

The former station:

A bit more information.
 
^Yep, in front of Old City Hall

Across the river, I would live in this ugly building for the nice views it must have:
