Texas's Eiffel Tower is a landmark in the city of Paris, Texas. The tower was constructed in 1993. It is a rough scale model of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France; at in height, it is roughly one-sixteenth of the height of the original.
It was built in 1993, three year later than the Eiffel Tower in Paris, Tennessee, which is an actual replica of the original Eiffel Tower. Original plans made the construction taller than the one in Tennessee and a cowboy hat added to the top, in a competitive spirit, made the total height .
It was built by members of the local weldersâ union. A shiny red cowboy hat was added to the top of the spindle in 1998. The tower has 27 thirty-watt LED lights which are programmed by color according to season (red and green at Christmas), and is also available for expectant parents to utilize the lights for gender reveals.
