Watts Towers of Simon Rodia SHP
State Historic Park

"The Watts Towers are a complex set of 17 separate sculptural pieces built on a residential lot in the community of Watts. Two of the towers rise to a height of nearly 100 feet. The sculptures are constructed from steel pipes and rods, wrapped with wire mesh, coated with mortar, and embedded with pieces of porcelain, tile and glass. Using simple hand tools and cast off materials (broken glass, sea shells, generic pottery and ceramic tile) Italian immigrant, Simon Rodia spent 30 years (1921 to 1955) building a tribute to his adopted country and a monument to the spirit of individuals who make their dreams tangible."

From the state park website:

The City of Los Angeles operates Watts Towers of Simon Rodia SHP -- please visit their website for additional information.

OK, I'll bite. I need to know when the Towers are open. On a previous visit, they were closed for repair.

The city of LA website duplicates the biographical information on the state website and refers the reader to the state website.

I went back & forth between the two sites for 20 minutes.

Pass the buck.
