Metal’s been used for centuries as a building material for some of the most famous, durable, and spectacular structures in the world.

The Gateway Arch is a beautiful example of why metal’s such an amazing building material. It looks pretty much the exact same as it did when it was first built in 1963. Residing in Missouri, these two structures serve as a claim to man’s ingenuity and the incredible things that’s done with steel.
The Statue of Liberty
Many of us have read stories of people in the past. Immigrants, who upon entering America, were greeted by this beautiful statue. France gifted the Statue of Liberty to the United States of America. Because the Statue of Liberty’s thin copper plates that cover the putside this once brown statue now has a unique color. As years passed it changed to the now-familiar shade of green because of the reaction between the air and copper (though the environmental conditions played a huge role in this as well).
