Learn the History of Youle Shot Tower, One of 19th Century New York's Most Well-Known Landmarks

On this recent upload to YouTube history channel BookwormHistory, watch as host/historian Dan Thurber explores the history of the Youle Shot Tower, one of 19th century New York's most well-known landmarks, towering over the surrounding farmlands.

Today it's a fashionable apartment complex, but for almost 100 years the block between 53rd and 54th Streets and Sutton Place was home to one of New York City's most unique manufacturing centers!
