The memorial is a limestone wall supporting a tiled roof structure. Erected in 1917, the Memorial was a shelter for the then adjacent paddling pool. The pool was said to be the first of its kind in New Zealand.
The pool and the memorial, with its bronze bust of George H Swan, who promoted Marine Parade development, was dedicated in February 1918.
