	Eiffel Tower - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Eiffel Tower (pronounced /ˌaɪfəl 'taʊɚ/; French: La Tour Eiffel, pronounced /tuʀ ɛfɛl/) is an iron tower built on the Champ de Mars beside the River Seine in Paris.
		At the time of its construction in 1889, the tower replaced the Washington Monument as the tallest structure in the world, a title it retained until 1930, when New York City's Chrysler Building (319 m/1063.33 ft tall) was completed (although the tower was still taller if the respective spires of the two structures were excluded).
		The tower was met with resistance from the public when it was built, with many calling it an eyesore (Novelist Guy de Maupassant ate at a restaurant at the tower regularly, because it was the one place in Paris he was sure he wouldn't see it).

	Eiffel Tower - Tour Eiffel, Paris
		Eiffel knew and publicly acknowledged this influence; he was no stranger to the United States, having designed the wrought-iron pylon inside Frederic Bartholdi's Statue of Liberty in 1885.
		Eiffel was the leading European authority on the aerodynamics of high frames (he wrote "The Resistance of the Air" in 1913).
		In the construction of the Eiffel Tower, the curve of the base pylons was precisely calculated so that the bending and shearing forces of the wind were progressively transformed into forces of compression, which the bents could withstand more effectively.

	Paris-Henry County Eiffel Tower
		With the Tower in place, it was dedicated on January 29, 1993, in the presence of City of Paris officials, representatives of Christian Brothers University, and other local citizens.
		Striking as its physical presence is, the Eiffel Tower basks in even greater glory as a symbol of liberty and equality, ideals that sparked the French Revolution and that many believe were inspired by the success of the American Revolution just a few years earlier.
		It is, therefore, particularly fitting that another Eiffel Tower, an enduring symbol of liberty and equality, now stands tall and proud in the City of Paris and County of Henry, in the volunteer State of Tennessee.
