Description
Folly Tower at Logan House is an early 19th-century squat circular tower featuring a crenellated design. The structure is built from rubble, with angled rubble merlons on the crenellated parapet, some of which are disintegrating. To the south, there is a curved forestair that is attached to the outside of the tower, which includes a parapet with angled rubble coping. Below the forestair parapet, there is a coped course, and a short length of coped wall connects at the foot of the forestair to the southeast. The tower's rubble walls are also accompanied by angled rubble coping on the northeast and southwest sides.
