S. P. Dinsmoor's Garden of Eden holds a truly amazing spectacle: An American flag made entirely of concrete. In Dinsmoor's words: "This is the first flag ever made of concrete, I believe. It is 4x7 feet. It has stood the test of storms for 15 years without falling or flaw. I think it would be a great advantage to the government if they would put up cement flags, ball bearing as this is, over lighthouses and other places where a permanent flag is wanted. It would stand out in plain view in all kinds of weather and could be seen where a cloth flag could not be seen." For safety reasons, the flag was taken down years after Dinsmoor died.
