Pevcheskaya Tower, Water tower in Pushkin, Russia.

Pevcheskaya Tower is a 30-metre, six-storey water tower at Litseysky Lane 7 in Pushkin, built in 1887 to Aleksandr Vidov's design. Its red brick and white plaster facades mix brick style and Gothic elements, with rusticated lower walls, pilaster strips, cornices with dentil ornament and corner niches holding small columns. One- and two-storey annexes stand on its north, east and south sides.

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 stands in Litseysky Lane, house 7, in Pushkin, and is not open to visitors: it has been under renovation since 2009 for a restaurant complex, so it can only be seen from the street. Look for the 30-metre brick and white-plaster shaft with its one- and two-storey annexes on the north, east and south sides.

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.
