The wall sits on a concrete plinth and is divided into 31 sections of downward-curving wall with stone coping and iron spearhead railings, separated by square brick piers topped with pyramidal caps. Two sets of brick piers with stone coping and pagoda-shaped heads support fine cast-iron gates featuring Art Nouveau lily decoration, located in front of the administration building.
