English: Desert View Watchtower Ceiling as seen from level 4 - looking up. Stitched image. NPS/M.Quinn 2015/10/01
Watchtower ceiling images were painted by Fred Geary, commercial artist for the Santa Fe Railroad. One of the most prominent architectural features on the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park, the Watchtower underwent major renovations during 2010. The Watchtower is located at Desert View, the eastern-most developed area on the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. Recognized as a National Historic Landmark, the tower was constructed in 1932. Architect Mary Elizabeth Jane Colter’s design takes its influences from the architecture of the ancestral Puebloan people of the Colorado Plateau. She collaborated on the design with Native American artisans of the time, including well-known Hopi artist Fred Kabotie whose murals adorn much of the second level of the tower.

Today, the 70-foot tower contains a gift store and its upper floors serve as observation decks where visitors from around the world enjoy magnificent views of the canyon and the Painted Desert. |
