So I was looking through a book on the history of the World's Fair and came across a few old daguerreotypes of the Tour Eiffel, a tower built with the modern methods of the 1889 World's Fair to showcase French industry. Apparently, it attracted quite a bit of controversy in its time, and was dismantled in 1909 following the expiration of its lease. Rather interesting building, if I do say so myself, but I can't imagine seeing modern-day Paris with it still standing. What do you all think? Would Paris look better with a titanic iron tower standing in it's center, or does the Parisian insistence on keeping all monuments simple and classically-based make the city look nicer?
