Constructed from hammer-dressed stone, the tower is slightly battered and square in plan, featuring machicolations and a crenellated parapet. A stair tower corbelled out on the north-east corner. Various single-light windows are incorporated into the design. The tower was erected in place of a planned Free Public Library.
