OMG it's the Toronto thing!

in #architecture5 years ago

The CN tower, famous landmark thingy of Toronto is one of Canada's most recognized buildings, right up there with the Chateau Frontenac, Lion's Gate Bridge, West Edmonton Mall and that church where Celine Dion got married.

Built by the Canadian National company, hence CN tower, it was finished in 1976 and at the time of completion it was the world's tallest free-standing structure. This world record would last until 2007 when it was eclipsed by the Burj Khalifa.

Ownership was transferred to the Canada Lands Company before CN became privatized making it a crown asset. it pulls in about 2 million visitors a year and an annual revenue to the tune of $100 million CDN.
