Mecom Fountain, Circular fountain at Main Street intersection, Houston, US.
The Mecom Fountain features multiple tiers of water cascading down into a circular basin at a major traffic intersection.
Eugene Werlin designed this fountain in 1964, making it the largest water feature in Houston during that period.
