Stair Tower
The round stair tower sits at the end of a brick walk directly across from the entrance to the fort. An arched doorway leads into the tower where a concrete staircase begins at the right and circles counterclockwise up to the top. The three spiral granite staircases were built to provide protection against enemy fire.
