The Victoria Tower (part of the municipal buildings) was completed in 1886 and stands 245 feet tall, making it a landmark visible from some distance around the area. The Municipal Building(s) is a Category A listed building (LB34122 http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB34122 Historic Environment Scotland). The buildings and the tower now serve as a reminder of Greenock's increasing importance and wealth in the second half of the nineteenth century.
