Description
Coop’s Shot Tower was completed in 1890 by the Coop family and it operated (making lead shot) until 1960. In 1991 it was incorporated into the Melbourne Central shopping complex in central Melbourne under a conical glass roof. The 50 metre high brick shot tower has been made to look like a medieval tower, with crenelated parapet at the top and a small corner turret. There is also a blind cenellation design in the centre of the tower.
