The tower belongs to the former Holloway Sanatorium (Psychiatric hospital) which was built 1873-75. The architect was William Crossland and it was paid for by Thomas Holloway. The same architect and benefactor are responsible for nearby Royal Holloway College. The hospital is now a gated housing estate.
