The Santa Maria

 


The Santa Maria weather vane sits atop 2 Temple Place, a building constructed for William Waldorf Astor in 1890. It is a replica of the Santa Maria that Columbus sailed to America and symbolizes the connections between Astor's American and European roots.

If only Columbus had a better understanding of the people and place he bumped into.
