When First Canadian Place was built in 1975, owner Paul Reichmann boasted the tower would be clad with "16 miles of marble."  "It was a mark of distinction for the building," recalls banker Richard O'Hagan, who worked at First Canadian Place shortly after it opened for business.  The Reichmanns imported 45,000 slabs of Carrara marble from Italy and as a result, First Canadian Place is said to have more Carrara marble than any other building in the world...more.
