This is simply amazing! I often wonder what would survive and be left standing if a world wide catastrophic event occurred where ocean tidal waves cover all the land and everything is covered with mud and water (at least for a bit) and society had to rebuild from scratch. By the time we would be advanced enough to build something like this again it would be a mystery on how the original was built in the first place and people would have to guess what it was used for and why. Interesting

I wonder how they got the center support post in, whether they used the same cranes or how that was done

Cutting edge in the 1880's. Wonderful structure.
