It is constructed of two parts: the main tower has a door with an inscription panel above, and a series of small rectangular windows around the upper part; the upper part of the tower comprises a cylinder of smaller diameter set on top of the main tower, with a short flag pole on top. The tower is dedicated to Sir Hector Macdonald for his military achievements. It is in good condition. <1>
