George Robert White Memorial, Bronze memorial in Public Garden, Boston, United States.
The George Robert White Memorial is a bronze statue in Boston's Public Garden featuring a winged female figure standing on a granite base. Four bronze ram heads positioned on the base channel water into an elliptical basin below, creating an active fountain display.
Sculptors Daniel Chester French and Henry Bacon created this memorial in 1924 to honor George Robert White. White left Boston a major donation that enabled significant public improvements and charitable work throughout the city.
The winged figure on the memorial symbolizes generosity and abundance, showing how White's gift continues to benefit the community. Water flowing from the cornucopias represents the lasting impact of his donation to Boston.
The memorial is located in a public park and is easily viewable from all sides at any time. The fountain operates during warmer months, so the water features are most active during spring and summer visits.
The memorial honors a philanthropist whose fortune enabled him to reshape parts of Boston's public landscape through his giving. Few visitors notice that the water circulation system was designed to run continuously, symbolizing the endless flow of his generosity to the city.
