Horse Show Fountain

[1] The fountain, first erected in 1909, has been widely attributed to both sculptor Richard Bock and architect Frank Lloyd Wright.

[2] The fountain's design is generally believed to be a product of sculptor Richard Bock but the actual attribution is a bit fuzzy.

[4] It was Bock himself who suggested that it was Wright who pushed for the central opening in the fountain, and thus he "began to lay claim to the whole project.

John Michiels, an architect with Perkins and Will, designed the reconstruction while local sculptor Gerald Jaquard replicated Bock's relief work.

[7] Alterations on the original design included lining the planters with zinc[8] and the installation of the recessed lights.

Beneath the dedication panels are recessed lights which illuminate the fountain tray and cast tablets on the inner portion of the vertical posts.
