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.

The fountain functions as a central meeting point and reference landmark for residents navigating through the Museum District of Houston.

The fountain operates daily under the management of the City of Houston, with water displays visible from all approaching streets.

Water from multiple levels creates distinct patterns during day and night, marking the connection between Montrose and Main Streets.
