Roxbury High Fort

The site now contains a small park and the Cochituate Standpipe, also known as Fort Hill Tower, built in 1869.

The Roxbury High Fort site once contained earthwork fortifications of the Continental Army during the Siege of Boston during the American Revolutionary War.

At that time Roxbury was an independent town connected to Boston by a narrow neck of land.

[2] In 1869, the 70-foot-tall (21 m) Cochituate Standpipe was built atop Fort Hill by the Cochichuate Water Company.
