Martello Tower, Tybee Island, Savannah, GA
Postmarked in 1907, this was a defensive tower.  Martello towers are small defensive forts built in several countries of the British Empire during the 19th century.  They usually stood up to 40 feet (12m) high (with two floors) and typically had a garrison of one officer and 15-25 men. Their round structure and thick walls of solid masonry made them resistant to cannon fire, while their height made them an ideal platform for a single heavy artillery piece, mounted on the flat roof and able to traverse a 360 arc. They were used throughout the 19th century, but became obsolete with the introduction of more powerful rifled artillery.
