Originally constructed as part of the Eastern Fever Hospital, the cupola was salvaged when the building was demolished in 1982. The cupola is constructed of wood in a baroque style, with a deeply projecting curved eaves cornice and louvered panels. Each of the four sides has a clock face – black with Roman numerals in gold. A weathervane sits on top. The structure is now mounted atop a support beam frame in the landscaped community garden.
