Martello Tower's unexpectedly long closure leaves its Saint John neighbours impatient
Martello Tower, a historic site in Saint John dating back to the War of 1812, has been closed to the public since 2016, turning what was intended as a four-year project into one that's lasted a decade so far.

Took a spin yesterday and came across this Martello Tower in surprisingly good order. It's a Corsican design that was built as a precaution for Napoleon finished in 1817 but wasn't required. With a few more windows I think it would be a perfect house. #martellotower #fortification #architecture #corsican #magilliganpoint #loughswilly
