Eiffel's Other Buildings

Statue of Liberty
It’s easy to think of the French architect Gustave Eiffel (born 1832, died 1923) as a one-hit wonder, we can all immediately name the Eiffel Tower as his great achievement, but a second or third Eiffel construction? In fact Eiffel architecture is found in many countries and I’m amazed how many times I’ve encountered something Gustave designed or built as I travel the world.
