Whitehall Weathervanes Centuries ago, weathervanes were one of the first instruments to detect changes in the weather by pointing in the direction from which the wind was blowing. The Tower Of Winds in Athens, Greece (48 BC), topped with its Triton weathervane, is among the earliest archaeological examples. Over the years, this utilitarian instrument has become a major focal point in the element of artistry and design. Whitehall Weathervanes are handcrafted by some of the World's finest artisans from genuine aluminum, copper and brass. Today, Whitehall Weathervanes adorn rooftops, gardens, yards, even dens.
