Joseph Rosenberg Fountain, Bronze fountain in Grant Park, Chicago, United States.
The Rosenberg Fountain features a classical Greek temple structure with stone columns supporting an 11-foot bronze statue of Hebe holding a cup and pitcher.
Joseph Rosenberg donated $10,000 in 1893 to construct this fountain after experiencing difficulties finding drinking water during his time as a young newsboy in Chicago.
The bronze statue represents Hebe, daughter of Zeus and Hera, wearing draped clothing instead of the initially planned nude design to align with public preferences.
The fountain stands at the intersection of South Michigan Avenue and East 11th Street, marking the southwest section of Grant Park with its neoclassical architecture.
The fountain transformed from a functional water source for newsboys into a preserved historical monument following restoration work by the Chicago Park District in 2004.
