<bgsound src="music.mid" loop=infinite> Alexandre Gustave Eiffel was born on December 15th, 1832 in Dijon, France. In his lifetime, he was well known as a designer and builder of bridges, viaducts, and railways many of which are still standing. However, he is best known for his work on the internal structure of the Statue of Liberty, a gift from France to the United States, and his masterpiece, the Eiffel Tower. Eiffel had an uncanny knack for math and science, and is still considered by many to be one of the greatest architect/engineers of all time. Later in life, he also became an authority on aerodynamics. He died in 1923.
