EIFFEL TOWER BY LEWIS WILSON II The Eiffel Tower opens from mid-June to September from 9 AM to 12 AM; for the rest of the year the Eiffel Tower opens from 9:30 AM to 11:00 PM. March 1889 the Eiffel Tower stood at 10,000 feet which made it the tallest structure in the world. The Eiffel Tower has over 18,000 pieces of puddle iron and also over 2.5 million rivets.
Mr. Eiffel was the one, who got the credit for building this magnificent building, but it was one of his employees who came up with the whole concept of Tower, and his name was Maurice Koechlin. Mr. Eiffelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full name is Alexandre-Gustave Eiffel. The Eiffel Tower has many other interesting things near it, like the River Seine flows below it.
