With the 360 degree walkway and roof overhang, my vote is a railyard control tower. The structure looks to have been built long after the steam engine era was over. The hole in this theory is the lack of windows but perhaps they were sealed off or replaced when vandals broke the glass out. A bunch of stuff.
