The survey's description says, "The monument consists of an allegorical female figure representing the Spirit of the Revolution standing atop a granite base in front of a tall granite obelisk adorned with a band of thirteen stars around the top.

The female figure is loosely draped and holds a furled American flag in her proper left hand.

On the base, beneath the female figure, is a bronze relief plaque depicting the Boston Massacre.
