Probasco Fountain, Bronze fountain in Clifton district, Cincinnati, United States.
The Probasco Fountain rises 10 feet tall with a central column topped by a mushroom-shaped cap design and contains four separate drinking basins.
Architect Samuel Hannaford designed this fountain in 1887 as a gift from local businessman Henry Probasco to provide water for the residents of Clifton.
The fountain includes specific drinking basins for humans, horses, dogs, and birds, reflecting the community considerations of late 19th-century public infrastructure.
Located at the intersection of Clifton and Woolper Avenues, the fountain underwent a $400,000 restoration with enhanced lighting and a new plaza area.
The National Register of Historic Places listed structure features inscribed words stating 'To the People of Clifton, Thirsty And Ye Gave Me Drink.'
