The tower was built in the 17th century as a windmill. By 1750 it was abandoned and in a ruined condition. The remains were converted to a lookout tower in the 1830s by HM Coastguard.
In 1869, the Shipping and Mercantile Gazette obtained it as a lookout post to report shipping movements. It was taken over by Lloyd's of London in 1871.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Goodwin |first=J |date=1993 |title=Granite towers on St Mary’s, Isles of Scilly |journal=Cornish Archaeology |volume=32 |pages=128–139 }}</ref>
