Jacob Wrey Mould Fountain

We took trip down to NYC for an Untapped Cities tour on Saturday.  Our meet up point was Jacob Wrey Mould Fountain near City Hall.

The original fountain was designed by noted architect Jacob Wrey Mould.  It was placed in front of City Hall 1871, two hundred feet north of it's current location.  The fountain remained there until 1920, when it was disassembled and and shipped to Crotona Park in the Bronx.  In 1999, the granite base of the fountain was returned to City Hall Park.  Replicas of the center piece, ornate bronze candlabra, and flickering gas lamps were crafted from Mould's original designs as part of the park's restoration.
