simon rodia spent 33 years building watts towers alone, without any help. when he finished in 1954, he deeded the lot to some neighbors and walked away. clearly it was his life's work. the towers were built from old tiles, bottles, pipes, steel frames, and 70,000 seashells. his day job as a tile setter and telephone repair man influenced his methods of building and decoration.
these images include the front and back covers as well as several pages from a beautiful little brochure from 1961. the towers are still standing, and are an absolutely glorious presence...
