about

The powder house in Nathan Tufts Park in Somerville, MA was originally built to be a windmill. Here's a punk song about it.

lyrics

John Mallet bought himself a hilltop
In what was then Charlestown
He was a refugee from France
He built ships and maybe danced
He decided to make a building that was round

He and his sons got to building
Their structure rose 30 feet high
It was built from local stone
but this was not their home
What they built was made to grind

They built a windmill
designed to grind their grain
It had three floors
who could ask for more
Its top could turn so the wind it would face
