Now about a 109 miles away from it's original location at the #FitchburgRail depot in Boston, the "Jenny Lind Tower" was saved from demolition in 1927 and rebuilt brick by brick in #TruroMA on Cape Cod . . . #JennyLind was a popular #Opera singer in the 1850's and as the story goes her #Boston appearance was so oversold that a mob gather outside the auditorium located at what was the Fitchburg Rail Depot. . . The appearance was booked by none other than Mr #PTBarnum, so the next part of the story may be a mix of fact & fiction..... . . Hearing the crowds massed outside unable to gain entry to her performance, Jenny Lind climbed to the top of this tower and performed for the crowd gathered below quelling a certain riot in the making. . . The story of why Henry Aldrich purchased the tower and had it rebuilt here by the sea in Truro is not as certain. . . . #igersma #igersmass #igersboston #tt #travelblig #travelbloggers #history #historical #capecod (at Jenny Lind Tower)

In 1848 famous singer Jenny Lind sings in a charity concert to help build Royal Brompton Hospital, raising £1,606. Royal Brompton Hospital services are being dismantled and historic buildings being sold off bit by bit for private development. #saveroyalbromptonhospital Royal Brompton Hospital was built entirely from charitable donations, legacies and fund raising.

Jenny Lind in America

From Smithsonian : The remainder of the Herald’s six-column front page was largely devoted to the arrival in New York of the Swedish soprano...

After her triumph in Denmark, she found similar success in Germany and Austria. The composer Felix Mendelssohn, who collaborated with Lind during this period, gushed in a letter to his friend Andersen, “There will not in a whole century be born another being so gifted as she.”

Today’s project was making covers for pillows and the foam mattress for the Jenny Lind bed that now sits on the porch. It’s a great place to contemplate something! Lol. #jennylind#sewing#nopatternrequired#imadethis#porchview https://www.instagram.com/p/CD2TG8DABZs/?igshid=3ldqympk31nu

#EdwardRoweSnow a top the #JennyLindTower in Truro, sometime in the 1930’s/40’s. It has to be old because he still had some type of staircase to climb inside. We had hoped to get back to the tower for our #CapeCodRoadtrip2020 but the access to the Highland Center is closed due to Covid. Hit the hashtag for #JennyLind and we should have an older story up from a past visit . The Cliff Notes are: the Tower used to be in Boston, and PT Barnum had oversold a concert, and Jenny Lind saved the day by climbing the tower and performing to the crowd outside. It lives abandoned in the woods in Truro these days but it’s not usually to hard to get to. . . Got up early to get a sunrise picture at Highland (Cape Cod) Light, but that’s all under scaffolding for construction..... but what can you do? We’ve had a great weekend on the Cape despite the restrictions: lobster rolls, ice cream for lunch, three other lighthouses and an excellent day at the Wellfleet Audubon this afternoon. There’s less people than a normal summer but all the hotels seemed booked- so people everyone is adapting. Stay safe out there, and wear a mask til things get better! #CovidTravel #CapeCodTravel #Travel2020 (at Jenny Lind Tower) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDHpejUl7RZ/?igshid=1qy1ffiiv4l1h
