Description

The bell mast is a tall cylindrical structure made of rivetted iron plates, supporting an open-sided octagonal bell cupola topped with an ogee roof featuring pronounced ribs. At the peak, there is a small golden orb beneath an ornate iron weather vane. The mast is approximately 100 feet (30 meters) tall and is secured by metal stays. About 8 feet (2.4 meters) above the base of the mast, there is a cantilevered metal awning that extends around it.
