The Alster Tower is often referred to as the Playhouse.
Completed in 1899, the Alster Tower is the most architecturally unique structure on Heart Island that was modeled after a Rhineland defense tower in Germany and purposely constructed with slanting and uneven walls, ceilings, and roofs. With a two-lane bowling alley, Kitchen, Billiard Room, Venetian Room, Library, Shell-Room and Theatre, George Boldt wanted to create the ideal atmosphere for recreational activities. Unlike the main Castle, the Boldt family used the tower up until the time of Louise’s death in 1904.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

La tour Alster est souvent appelée le théâtre.
Achevée en 1899, la tour Alster est la structure architecturalement la plus unique de l’île Heart. Elle a été conçue d'après une tour de défense de Rhénanie en Allemagne et a été volontairement construite avec des murs, des plafonds et des toits inclinés et irréguliers. Avec une salle de quilles à deux pistes, une cuisine, une salle de billard, une salle vénitienne, une bibliothèque, une salle des coquillages et un théâtre, George Boldt voulait créer l'atmosphère idéale pour les activités récréatives. Contrairement au château principal, la famille Boldt a utilisé la tour jusqu'à la mort de Louise en 1904.
Inscrite au registre national des lieux historiques en 1978.

The picture shows tower no. 31 of the Prussian semaphore system located in Entrup near Nieheim in Northrhine-Westphalia, Germany. The Prussian Semaphore System was a telegraphic communications system used between Berlin and the Rhine Province from 1832 to 1849. It could transmit administrative and military messages by optical signal over a distance of nearly 550 kilometres (340 mi). The telegraph line comprised 62 stations each furnished with a signal mast with six cable-operated arms. The stations were equipped with telescopes that operators used to copy coded messages and forward them to the next station. Although electric telegraphy made the system obsolete for military use, simplified semaphores were still used for railway signals. (see Wikipedia)
