Simon Rodia's Watts Towers


"Nuestro Pueblo" aka "Watts Towers"
The picture was taken from This site,
where you can find others pictures and links to sites dedicated to Simon Rodia's works.


Simon Rodia (?-1965)

I didn't know what to begin with, but the page on my calendar shows a picture of the Watt Towers by Simon Rodia. It's the perfect and fascinating example of a dream come true.
Read the emblematic history of the work labelled 'unauthorized public hazard' by the city of Los Angeles when they wanted it to be destroyed.

Watts Towers are located at :
1765 East 107th St
Los Angeles, California
