A friend asks me what these little buildings are for- any ideas? Woodside, CA, if that helps.

I suspect they are bird watching tower.. The lattice work, trees and most probably there are swamps or small lakes which birds can find food.

The birds watched with scopes or binoculars .

Write BIRD WATCHING TOWER to see variants around the world..

I think the lattice work and low altitude of the buildings kinda knocks out bird-watching as an option. A higher altitude and wider open viewing spaces, as shown above, makes sense for a viewing tower.
