Posen and Franklin argue that this work recreated sculptures from an annual parade in the artist's hometown of Nola. NASA engineer Bud Goldstone helped save this work from destruction by proving it could withstand an 80 mile per hour wind. It contains a gazebo with a circular bench and three bird baths, and a structure that its creator called the "Ship of Marco Polo," which rises 28 feet in the air. Materials used in its construction include chicken wire and telephone line insulator, as well as 7-Up bottles whose logos are still visible. Originally called "Nuestro Pueblo," the self-taught artist behind this piece took much of his material from a pottery store. It contains the longest reinforced concrete columns in the world and consists of three large spires. FTP, name this construction by Simon Rodia that extends nearly 100 feet in the air, named for the neighborhood in which it sits in Los Angeles.
