False History? The Impossible Timelines of 19th Century Architecture

How did massive, ornate buildings—featuring steel frames, underground tunnels, pneumatic tube systems, and even indoor swimming pools—get built in just 12 months in the 1800s?

Take The Palace Hotel (1875) and The Hibernia Bank (1914)—both reportedly constructed in a single year using only manual labor, horse-drawn carts, and basic tools. But is that even possible?

🚨 Key Anomalies:
🔹 Massive infrastructure projects completed at impossible speeds
🔹 No photographic evidence of active construction—only finished buildings
🔹 Pneumatic tubes, industrial ice machines, underground tunnels in an era before modern logistics
🔹 Consistent reporting of unrealistic construction times across multiple cities

If these timelines don’t add up, was history rewritten? Could a false narrative be hiding an alternative past? If this happened on a massive scale, what does that mean about the true history of our cities?
