Notes from "Explore the World of Peter Rindlisbacher’s “The Golden Years, 1885”"
Murney Tower is one of several Martello Towers here in Kingston, and was built in 1846 (four decades before the events of this painting!). It opened as a museum in 1925 and became a National Historic Site in 1930. It can be seen in the right-hand side of Rindlisbacher’s painting.
