La torre produjo seis toneladas de balas semanales hasta 1961, cuando la demanda de las balas de plomo se redujo, debido a las nuevas regulaciones de armas de fuego. La torre fue dirigida por la familia Coops, que también gestionó la Clifton Hill Shot Tower. Recientemente, un museo llamado Shot Tower Museum se ha instalado en el interior de la torre, en la parte posterior del R. M. Williams, un inquilino en la torre.
