You mean you didn't see this prominently displayed on that page?

"Construction started: 1793
Height: 288' (88 m) CTBUH
Opened: November 17, 1800"

Ya but it opened that in 1880 but it dosent mean that is when it was finished.

Nvm you don't know.

It must have been finished to open then.

Yes, there were numerous additions and repairs after fires. This is a timeline of its complete construction.
