The tallest freestanding masonry structure in the world looms out of the clouds on the east side of Anaconda, Montana. At 585 feet tall it is taller than the Washington Monument and the Statue of Liberty- it has been silent since 1980 when Anaconda shut the smelter down and was declared a state historic site in 1985. This is as close as you can legally get to the structure as all the surrounding lands are a restricted federal superfund site.   |
