The historic building was saved from demolition in 1973 and was incorporated into Melbourne Central complex in 1991 underneath an 84 m-high (276 ft) conical glass roof.

Coop's Shot Tower is 9 storeys high, and has 327 steps to the top.

The tower produced 6 tonnes (6.6 short tons) of shot weekly up until 1961, when the demand for the lead shot dwindled, because of new firearm regulations.
