water


This is the City Hall Park Fountain, designed in 1871 by 
Jacob Wrey Mould. For some reason, it was moved to the 
Bronx in 1920. But when he was mayor, Giuliani
said "I don't think so!" and back downtown it came.

    No matter where this fountain stands, it's a beauty.

    All of our fountains are shut down now that snow is in the air. This is a beauty.
