Tower of Jewels, PPIE 1915
This 435 foot Tower, the centerpiece of the PPIE, was adorned with 102,000 nova-gems. These 1-2 inch colored glass "jewels" were suspended loosely to swing in the breeze and shimmer as they caught and refracted sunlight by day or searchlights at night. Image available in our hand-tinted gallery
