The Shot Tower at Melbourne Central is one of the best examples of old meets new architecture anywhere in the world.
"Coop's Shot Tower is a shot tower located in the heart of the Melbourne CBD, Australia.It was completed in 1888 and is 50 metres high. The historic building was saved from demolition in 1973 and was incorporated into Melbourne Central complex in 1991 underneath an 84 m-high conical glass roof.
Coop's Shot Tower is 9 storeys high, and has 327 steps to the top. The tower produced six tonnes of shot weekly up until 1961, when the demand for the lead shot dwindled, because of new firearm regulations. "
It is the centrepiece of a high end Shopping centre and a must visit destination for tourists. It is also a great meeting point for catching up with friends !
