Description
This one proudly does his job as a sentinel over the 18th century Lee House in Maysville, KY. Maysville is the childhood home of the legendary Rosemary Clooney. "The history of weather vanes is an interesting one which spans many centuries and travels over many countries.
The earliest recorded weather vane honored the Greek god Triton, and adorned the Tower of the Winds in Athens which was built by the astronomer Andronicus in 48 B.C. The figure, which is believed to have been 4 to 8 feet long, had the head and torso of a man and the tail of a fish. To the ancients, the winds had divine powers. In Greece and pre-Christian Rome, weather vanes depicting the gods Boreas, Aeolus, Hermes and Mercury decorated the villas of wealthy landowners."
