Invercargill's Water Tower, probably the City's best-known landmark, is situated on Reserve land on the south-west corner of Queens Drive and Gala Street - the highest point on the Town Belt of the original town of Invercargill. This 42.5m high city landmark in red brick was completed in 1889 to the design of William Sharp, a former civil engineer for the Public Works Department. On top is a water tank which has a capacity of 297,000 litres. The Tower is considered a unique example of Victorian architecture and has been classified by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust. This is sometimes open to the public which is well worth a steepish climb to the top to see all over Invercargill.
