It was demolished in May 1928, following a decision by the City of Fremantle to approve the demolition in March that year. It was replaced by a substantial warehouse. The top of the folly was used by early photographers to capture images of parts of Fremantle and Fremantle Harbour. It is currently the site of Quest Apartments. (en)
