The Wind Harp is a 92-foot-tall aeolian-harp sculpture by artists Lucia and Aristides Demetrios, sited on a hilltop (roughly 243 ft above sea level) in an industrial park in South San Francisco, California. Originally built in 1967 as the 'Cabot, Cabot and Forbes Tower,' the steel-cable structure is one of the largest aeolian harps in the world, producing tones as wind passes through its cables. The City of South San Francisco acquired the structure in 1996; it remains a local landmark overlooking the city's biotech district and the Bay.
