Perth, Tay Street, Waterworks
Perth, Tay Street, Waterworks, Category A listed water tower and pumping station in Perth, Scotland
The waterworks building features a circular base of ashlar masonry supporting a cast-iron domed tank designed to hold 146,000 gallons of water.
Built between 1829 and 1832 under architect Adam Anderson's supervision, this structure revolutionized Perth's water distribution through a gravity-fed system from its cistern.
The building now houses the J.D. Fergusson Gallery, transforming from its industrial origins into a center for art and cultural exhibitions.
Located on Tay Street, the structure combines a tourist information center with art galleries across multiple floors, offering visitors both historical and artistic experiences.
The inscription 'AQUAM IGNE ET AQUA HAURIO' above the south door reflects Dr. Anderson's contribution to developing this early municipal water system.
