The Tale of our Historic Eagles Guardians of Legacy

Two fiercely scowling eagles, which once guarded the secrets of the country’s greatest financiers at the penthouse of the Bank of New York, now have the tamer task of greeting visitors at Fantastic Resort Celebration Center.

The previous owner purchased the six foot tall, Italian-made sculptures for his home when the bank building was demolished in 1981.

Guarding the experiences of those who embark on a journey at Fantastic Resort & Venues, they are now symbols of protected wealth for new couples

The two six-foot eagles glare from their lofty perch atop stone columns on either side of the entrance to the Wedding 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 a larger, 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. It is the symbol of great nations and empires. This fierce animal is considered among birds as the lion among quadrupeds. Solitary, he keeps the skies to himself. Bred for 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”.
