A small trough set into the base of the structure was for the use of dogs. The single pillar with attic base hosts inset arched panels for dedication. The entablature with bolt consoles sits beneath an ogee cupola with alternate panels of fleur de lys motif. The pump handle and six-sided glass pane lantern are missing; however, yoke maintenance arms that originally supported the lamp-lighter’s ladder are still in evidence. The lantern was capped with a ball and spike finial.
