NEW YORK
HEART ISLAND, ALEXANDRIA BAY

Alster Tower (often called the "Playhouse") located on Heart Island, part of the famous Boldt Castle complex.
Historical Context:
Alster Tower was modeled after a defense tower on the Alster River in Germany. It was intended to be a playhouse for the Boldt children and contained a bowling alley, billiard room, and library, though the castle complex itself was never fully completed during George Boldt's time.
