The Tower of Victory at Washington’s Headquarters State Historic Site was built in 1887 to commemorate the peace following the Revolution War. The tower fell into disrepair after its roof was damaged by storm in the 1950s. A multi-decade restoration effort by the State Parks Palisades Region, the Palisades Park Conservancy, and local masons and construction companies saw the reconstruction of the roof, observation deck and conservation/ reinstallation of the several bronze statues.
