Mecom Fountain, Circular fountain at Main Street intersection, Houston, US.

Mecom Fountain is a 1964 fountain by Eugene Werlin set in the traffic circle at Main Street and Montrose Boulevard in Houston. It was given to the city by John W. and Mary Mecom and was the largest fountain in Houston when completed.

Mecom Fountain was designed by Eugene Werlin and completed in 1964 at the Main Street and Montrose Boulevard traffic circle. John W. and Mary Mecom presented it to the City of Houston, and at the time of its completion it was the largest fountain in the city.

The roundabout at Main Street and Montrose Boulevard carries the fountain at its centre, so drivers pass it daily as a fixed marker of the route. John W. and Mary Mecom gave the work to the city, and their name remains attached to it in local use.

The fountain flows during daylight hours and creates different water patterns depending on the time of day. The location sits at a busy traffic intersection, so visitors should watch for vehicles when approaching and choose viewing spots from the surrounding streets.

The fountain was a gift to the City of Houston from John W. and Mary Mecom, who presented it in 1964; the roundabout it occupies sits where Main Street meets Montrose Boulevard, a junction drivers pass without usually knowing who paid for the water.
