In what way is this building functional?

The Tower of Winds The replica horlogium (water clock) was completed in 1765 by Trubshaw of Great Haywood. It was once used as a dairy (downstairs) and as a gambling den (upstairs). It was reached by bridges to the porches over a surrounding lake (now drained). It may have originally featured a frieze of sculptured reliefs depicting the different winds.
