Editor's note -- Broadway Tower was designed by English architect James Wyatt as a folly for Lady Coventry in 1794. She wondered if she could see a pretend castle 22 miles away from her home. Yes. By 1799, Lady Coventry could see it clearly.
A folly is a building so extravagant that it transcends the normal range of garden ornaments.
