Can a Victorian style house feature both a Second Empire (Mansard) tower and a turret of the Queen Anne style?

I am a lifelong aficionado of Victorian architecture, and I know it can be very eclectic. I’ve seen all sorts of unlikely combinations of elements.
I’ve seen Second Empire style towers on buildings of the Carpenter Gothic style and even the Eastlake Stick Style. I’ve seen turrets, which are more castlated, and octagonal, and other Queen Anne elements on Gothic buildings—but I can’t think of any examples where a turret would look appropriate on a house with a Second Empire or Mansard tower, or on a house with a Mansard roof, Are there any examples of this?
