Eiffel Tower celebrates ...

[Michael Grove]

IT's 100th Anniversary. The tower was built to commemorate the 100th anniversary of
the French Revolution and was the center-piece of the Exposition Universelle of 1889.

Construction began in January 1887 and was completed on 31 March 1889 - truly a

testament to the convictions & professionalism of those who built it - in view of the

fact that the temporary stucture  is still standing and likely to be in another 100 years.
