My tower will be the tallest edifice ever erected by man. The old temple built by Zerubbabel was replaced by a magnificent edifice. The columns in the nave were part of the original edifice. The original Lateran Palace was demolished and replaced with a new edifice. The foundation stone of the edifice was laid in 1895. Today, the stone edifice still stands near Waters Hall. The Metropolitan Tabernacle was the largest church edifice of its day. For a long time the Winter Palace was the tallest edifice in the city. It took 25 years to complete the Neoclassical edifice, which opened in 1789. The palace was shaped in a 'W' with wings flanking the central edifice. Another idyllic rural edifice is Wittichen Abbey near Schenkenzell. Eventually, it became a part of the edifice itself, made out of concrete. Other chapels were added to the original edifice. This proposition underlies the whole of his conceptual edifice, and is an unquestioned assumption. Many still continue to feel the harsh modernism of the edifice is out of place.
