Soldiers' Memorial Tower
Soldiers' Memorial Tower, Civil War memorial tower in Brockport, US
The round tower constructed from Medina sandstone stands near Owens Road, featuring Late Gothic Revival architectural elements and commemorative inscriptions.
Built in 1894, this memorial tower marks a burial ground for local veterans and honors the Civil War casualties from the town of Sweden.
The tower represents a period when communities across New York State erected monuments to commemorate their Civil War soldiers and preserve military heritage.
Visitors can reach the memorial by taking Owens Road north of South Avenue, with parking facilities available at the adjacent fire station.
The structure originally measured 52 feet in height, but natural erosion and weathering have reduced it by approximately one quarter over the decades.
