Paddington Water Tower, Heritage water tower in Paddington, Australia.

The concrete water tower stands 70 feet tall at 16 Garfield Drive, featuring an elevated tank supported by twelve reinforced columns.

The Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board constructed the water tower in 1927 to provide water supply to residents in elevated areas of Brisbane.

The water tower earned recognition on the Queensland Heritage Register in 2000 for its role in the development of Brisbane's water infrastructure.

The structure contained a storage capacity of 100,000 imperial gallons and included a cottage for the maintenance worker responsible for water level control.

Located at 335 feet above sea level on Archibald's Hill, the tower remains unchanged from its original construction and maintains its architectural integrity.
