Electric Fountain

It was designed by architect Ralph Carlin Flewelling in 1931, in partnership with sculptor Robert Merrell Gage, who created the center sculpture and bas relief.

[1] Robert Merrell Gage placed the 6-foot (1.8 m) granite sculpture of a Tongva/Gabrieleno tribe member, kneeling in prayer, on a 20-foot (6.1 m) stone column.

According to Peter James Holliday, the image was "said to be modeled after Gradin Newsom, who was part Cherokee".

Terra cotta mosaic pavement tiles show images from the early history of the area and the founding of the city.

Installed in 2016, the lighting program made the Electric Fountain highly visible after dark.
