Standing on concrete footers extending sixteen feet below ground, the Eiffel Towers is 331'-6" tall, weighs about 800 tones, and is a 1/3 replica of the original. The top observation platform is 275 feet high and offers a spectacular view of the Virginia countryside. There are 440 steps from the ground to the elevator motor house. The tower requires 1,500 gallons of paint. Tower construction took about 2 years prior to its 1975 opening.
