Description
In the historical center of Orenburg, at the intersection of Pobeda Avenue and Zhukov Street, there is an unusual building - a water tower. Its history begins at the beginning of the 20th century, when a city square arose on the site of a once empty space. As the city grew, the need for water sources arose, and in 1904 a small water purification building was built on this square, which could hold about 80 buckets.
After the end of the Civil War in 1927, it was decided to build a water tower. The architect of this important structure was I.V. Ryangin. In 1929, the tower was put into operation and operated until the 60s of the 20th century.
The style of the tower was originally classicism, but later constructivist elements were added to the building. The height of the tower is 28 meters.
During its prosperity, the water tower served as one of the city’s significant landmarks, and its construction was one of the first steps towards industrialization and economic development of the region.
In modern times, the tower is not used for its intended purpose due to the construction of new residential buildings. However, it houses a café, bar and office space, preserving the historical heritage of this remarkable building.
