25th anniversary of the Eiffel Tower
125 years ago today,
the Eiffel Tower was officially completed in Paris after 2 years, 2
months, and 5 days of construction. It stood as the gateway for the 1889
Exposition Universelle (World’s Fair) in honor of the 100th anniversary
of the storming of the Bastille, and continues to make an impact on the
world’s conscious today. (Megan Willett/Business Insider)
