Phonehenge West
Phonehenge West was envisioned and created by Alan Kimble "Kim" Fahey. It rested on his 1.7-acre property in Acton, California. The structure was destroyed by the county of Los Angeles in August 2011 for building code violations. The structure included a 70-foot tower made from reclaimed material and props from old movie sets. The majority of the structure was built by Fahey himself over the course of 30 years. Fahey is a retired phone company technician; much of the material consisted of unclaimed telephone poles. The compound included 13 structures and was a representation of folk art.〔
Los Angeles County Superior Court judge Daviann L. Mitchell ordered Fahey to pay the $83,488 in demolition costs in addition to performing 63 days of community service, of which a minimum of five days must be served at the L.A. County or Kern County morgue.〔 During the demolition, which took three weeks, four truckloads of material were removed from the property. Fahey requested that the material be saved for reuse but all 53 tons of telephone poles and 280 tons of steel were too badly damaged by the end of the demolition operation.〔 In December 2012, Fahey was sentenced to 539 days in jail for failure to pay.
The name Phonehenge West is a parody of Stonehenge, a prehistoric monument located in the English county of Wiltshire, about west of Amesbury and north of Salisbury. One of the most famous sites in the world, Stonehenge is composed of a circular setting of large standing stones set within earthworks. The structure is at the centre of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred burial mounds.
