English: Located at the highest point of Signal Hill National Historic Site of Canada, overlooking the city and the ocean, the Cabot Tower built of irregularly coursed red sandstone is composed of a two storey, 9.4-metre (30-foot), square structure with a three storey, 15.24-metre (50-foot) octagonal tower that stands on the southeast corner of the building. The corners are buttressed at the first floor level and further emphasized through the use of heavier blocks of stone. On the main body of the building, at the top of the second storey level, is a line of repeating pattern like an exaggerated dentil row or inverted crenulations. The attached tower which houses the main entrance, is very plain with a double stringcourse marking the divisions between second and third storeys and heavy corbel tables marking the eight corners of the turret at the flared upper level. The windows on both the corner turret and the body of the tower proper are rectangular and set under heavy stone lintels.
Français : Dressée au plus haut point du lieu historique national du Canada de Signal Hill, dominant la ville et l’océan, la tour Cabot est une structure carrée de 9,40 mètres (30 pieds), à deux étages, construite en blocs de grès rouge irrégulièrement disposés; une tourelle octogonale de 15,24 mètres (50 pieds), à trois étages, se dresse à l’angle sud-est du bâtiment. Les angles du rez-de-chaussée sont pourvus de contreforts et l’effet est accentué par l’emploi de blocs de pierre plus gros. Sur la partie principale de l’édifice, le haut du second étage est agrémenté d’une ligne à motif répété qui rappelle un denticule exagéré ou des créneaux inversés. La tourelle qui abrite l’entrée principale est très sobre : un simple bandeau double marque la division entre le deuxième et le troisième étages et, en sa partie supérieure évasée, de lourdes entablures en encorbellement marquent les huit coins. Les fenêtres de la tourelle et de la tour même sont rectangulaires et posées sous de lourds linteaux en pierre.
