This is one of the original ~140 fire towers built by the South Carolina Forestry Commission between the mid-1930s and the abandonment of the system in 1993. This tower is one of two still standing in its original location in Lexington County.

The lookout is a Bethlehem Steel tower with a 7'-by-7' steel cab on top of an 80-foot galvanized steel tower. It is in poor condition. There is a small shed at the base that appears to house radio equipment and several antennas are mounted on the tower.
