Eiffel Tower (Paris, Tennessee) - Wikipedia Entries on Waymarking.com

Tennessee's Eiffel Tower is a landmark in the city of Paris, Tennessee. Built in the early 1990s, this structure is a model of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France.

Engineering students at Christian Brothers University originally constructed the tower to commemorate the 1990 Memphis in May festival.

The tower was designed to scale by Tom Morrison, professor emeritus of civil engineering; Jim Jacobs, assistant professor of mechanical engineering; and Roland Raffanti, engineering lab technician, from Christian Brothers University. According to Brother Patrick O'Brien, Morrison designed the model's design based on the original drawings of Gustave Eiffel. At 60 feet (18 m) tall, the tower is a nearly perfect 1:20 scale replica of the original
