Square Tower House

Mesa Verde National Park

Square Tower House was occupied from 1200 A.D. until around 1300 A.D. It was believed to have held between 60- 80 rooms and 7 kin kivas, one of which has been used as a standard in the restoration of other kivas in Mesa Verde. Below the ruin was a spring which would have provided convenient water. Hand and toe holds carved into the sandstone provided access to the mesa top where crops and other water sources were located.
