The San Jose Light Tower

I found some interesting pictures of the San Jose light tower.


This is it being built in 1881.


This is from 1907. You can really get a sense of it's size here.


This the year it fell down, 1915.


This is it after it fell down. I read somewhere that there is a school of thought that the guy who designed the Eifel Tower took his ideas from the light tower.
