I used to have a VHS tape of the construction process that I showed to my construction classes. The pre-fabricated stainless steel sections were built in Pittsburg in the early 60's and shipped by rail where they were assembled. I bet the video is available digital now.
It is fun to ride to the top in the little "elevator" cars they have that rotate on the way up to keep your head pointed up... lol
I just found the whole video, from beginning to end on YouTube. It is an impressive process and structure.
