Madison Square Fountain, ornamental granite fountain in Madison Square Park, Manhattan, United States

Madison Square Fountain is an ornamental fountain of North Jay granite in Madison Square Park, in Manhattan's Flatiron District. It is a modern reproduction of the original, installed in 1990 and renovated in 2015. It was the only one of several planned fountains to be realized. Urns around it are planted with flowers in summer and other plants during the holiday season.

The fountain was begun in 1842 and completed on January 7, 1843, on the site of the Old Post Office, and embellished in 1847. It was removed to Madison Square Park and rededicated there on June 28, 1867. The present fountain is a modern reproduction of that original, installed in 1990 and renovated in 2015.

The fountain's granite carries an inscription recording that it stood on the site of the Old Post Office, was begun in 1842, completed January 7, 1843, embellished in 1847, and rededicated in Madison Square Park on June 28, 1867. The urns around it are planted with flowers in summer and other plants during the holiday season.

The fountain is located near several park entrances and is accessible daily from sunrise to sunset. During winter months it is shut down to prevent pipe damage from freezing.

An inscription on the fountain records its earlier life: it stood on the site of the Old Post Office, was begun in 1842, completed January 7, 1843, embellished in 1847, and rededicated in Madison Square Park on June 28, 1867. The urns around it are replanted with flowers in summer and other plants for the holidays.
