The two six-foot eagles glare from their lofty perch atop stone columns oneitherside of the entrance to Fantastic Resort & Venues. These eagles listened in on many conversations between millionaires who have been made or broken. These majestic birds resided on the 28th floor of the bank of New York from 1900 until 1981, when the building was torn down for alarger more modern structure. The old New York Bank was located at 52 Wall Street, one of the most prestigious addresses at that time. The eagle is the largest and noblest of all birds, and the symbol of great nations andempires such as Germany, Prussia, England and the United States. In general, they are found in mountainous and ill-populated countries, and breed among the loftiest cliffs. This fierce animal many be considered among birds, as the lion among quadrupeds. Solitary like the lion, he keeps the desert to himself as the best proof of theirdominion. Bredfor war, they are fierce, proud and incapable of being tamed. Of all animals, the eagle flies the highest; and from thence the ancients have given him the epithet, of the "bird of heaven".
