Pevcheskaya Tower, Water tower in Pushkin, Russia.
Pevcheskaya Tower is a water tower in Pushkin with six floors built from red brick. The structure stands 30 meters tall and displays the industrial architectural style typical of 1880s construction methods.
The tower was built in 1887 under the Saint Petersburg City Administration and served as both a water storage facility and Russia's first power station. This dual function made it an innovative structure for its time.
The structure represents a federal cultural heritage site, demonstrating the technological advancement of water infrastructure in 19th century Russia.
The tower can be viewed from the outside and shows detailed red brick facades from various angles. After fire damage in 2005 and restoration work that began in 2009, the structure is now fully visible and accessible.
The structure was part of the Taitsky waterpipe system and designed by architect Aleksandr Vidov as one of two complementary buildings. This pairing reflected an advanced approach to water management in 19th century Russia.
