Watts Towers 1
Simon Rodia built Nuestro Pueblo ("Our Town"), now called Watts Towers, between 1921 and 1954, working by himself and using refuse as construction material. It is a series of towers, the tallest of which is 100 ft in height, and interconnected structures covered with mosaics and pieces of collected materials such as broken plates, mugs, and other colorful items. His dreamscape is now a historic park, with an adjacent art center.
