It seems the height has changed over time.
My first reaction to your post was, 4YEARS, nooo, then I remembered I had recently received an anniversary badge for the 10th time and that was after doing 9 years prior to that on the sketchucation forum. Perhaps I was around when Eiffel designed it and my dementia helps me meet new people every day.
That is funny! I had search for the post about today’s modeling, and thought I had the right post. Seems not.
Gustave Eiffel probably used his feet for walking but measured things in meters.
