Bea Evenson Fountain

The Bea Evenson Fountain features a central column of water rising from a wide, circular basin surrounded by a series of smaller jets. It sits where a temporary rose garden once marked the edge of the nineteen thirty-five Exposition. Bea Evenson herself raised the funds for the fountain, personally securing the final donations to finish the project after city budgets stalled. She kept a small notebook of every contributor, often calling friends at dinner to ensure the project reached completion by nineteen sixty-five.
