What Is This Stone Structure?

So far I think the best guesses are , observation tower and statue base. My guess, a mini light house a distant third.

On the Kimball Castle theory...

The man who built that owned and/or operated the Boston to Maine Railroad. The stone for the castle was subsequently brought in via train to Alton from overseas; from Ireland as I've heard it.

Now, I've been inside the Castle, and can't say that I could tell the difference in the granite. (Although it is an interesting structure!)
