Arizona - Grand Canyon: Desert View Watchtower , a 70-foot / 21 m - high stone building @East Rim Drive

            The tower is located 7,438 ft. / 2.267m high (on the eastern part of the South Rim). Even though the Watchtower looks like a historic building from the outside, it is by no means a relic of times gone by. The tower was built in 1932 by Mary E. Jane Colter around a steel frame, but as a "re-creation" of prehistoric American buildings she had studied. The masonry is authentic in its construction, and the murals inside the tower were created by Hopi Nation and artist Fred Kabotie. The Hopi people now operate a store there with extensive Native American souvenirs.
