Coop's Shot Tower in Melbourne Australia was built in 1888. The building is approximately 190 feet tall and was designed to produce ammunition (shot). Molten lead was dropped through a sieve at the top of the tower. The molten lead would form small round balls through surface tension which would start to solidify as they fell and would land in a water filled basin. Coop's Shot Tower avoided demolition and became the centerpiece of a large modern shopping mall (the Melbourne Central complex) in 1991. It sits below a 275 foot glass roof.
Coop's Shot Tower is 9 storeys tall. It produced shot commercially until 1961. Now, part of it is a museum.
