Description
(Original Caption) For 33 years, the uneducated Italian immigrant Simon Rodia worked like a man obsessed. When he completed the Watts Tower in Los Angeles, Calif., he deeded it to another and walked away in disgust. Tired of being an object of derision. The incredible open-work towers-Rodia was 79 when he finished them-are fashioned of steel, seashells, broken glass and cement.
