In 1899 George Kessler and John VanBrunt designed and had constructed the Ninth Street Fountain. It was at the entrance to the grand expanse of beautiful park construction down the center of Paseo Boulevard. The fountain quit working in the 1940s and despite several attempts to bring it back to life only this week was the redesigned fountain ready for service.
Now known as the "Women's Leadership Fountain" the north side of the fountain fronts on Ninth Street. This is the view looking south.
Illuminated by period lighting the fountain is even more elegant at night.
Looking northwest.
Looking north. The entrance to the Paseo Bridge (now closed for construction) is only three blocks from here.
