NOTES: Eric Bedford was the Chief Architect at the Ministry of Public Works (MOPBW) responsible for the design of the tower. The revolving restaurant was designed by Garnett Cloughley Blakemore & Associates.
NOTES: Also known as St John's Beacon, this radio and observation tower with revolving restaurant was originally built as a ventilation shaft for St John's Market. However, it was never used as such due to a new law passed on the year of completion. After a lengthy period of disuse, it was refurbished in 1999 and reopened in 2000 as Radio City 96.7.
