Ashfield Reservoir, Water reservoir in Holden Street, Ashbury, Australia
The cylindrical steel tank sits elevated on a steel girder frame, supported by concrete columns and arches around its perimeter.
Built in 1912, this reservoir belonged to a group of four similar elevated structures constructed by the Metropolitan Board of Water Supply and Sewerage.
The reservoir represents early twentieth-century engineering methods and stands as a testament to Sydney's infrastructure development during industrial expansion.
The facility maintains water supply to higher areas of Inner West Sydney through connections from Woollahra Reservoir and Potts Hill systems.
The structure features rare surviving skid huts on its grounds, which document historical working conditions at water infrastructure facilities.
