The old tower may have sheltered families, stored goods, or watched the city grow before it filled with laughter, noise, and shared drinks. Its rooms may have held love, fear, work, and celebration, even if the names and dates have faded from memory. The lodge still belongs to Aberdeen, carrying layers of human life inside its stones.
