Dr EA Koch Memorial, Heritage memorial in Cairns City, Australia.

The Dr EA Koch Memorial is a 14-foot drinking fountain in Anzac Memorial Park, Cairns, designed by Melrose & Fenwick and unveiled in 1903. A dome rests on four worked marble columns imported from Carrara, set on a polished granite die and a fine-axed plinth of Mount Elliot granite; two sides of the dome carry sculptured likenesses of Koch.

The memorial was erected in 1903 by public subscription in Cairns, and the Townsville firm Melrose & Fenwick designed it as a drinking fountain. It was unveiled on 13 June 1903 by Major-General Sir Herbert Chermside, Governor of Queensland, in the centre of the Abbott and Spence Streets intersection. It was moved to Anzac Memorial Park by the mid-1970s and added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 27 May 1997.

The memorial was funded by a public subscription in Cairns, and the Townsville firm Melrose & Fenwick designed it as a drinking fountain rather than a statue, so it served townspeople as well as honouring Dr Koch. A gas lamp was placed on top because it stood in the middle of the Abbott and Spence Streets intersection.

The memorial is located at a street corner in the central park area and is easy to reach on foot. The red paving and surrounding park features make it straightforward to find and visit.

The memorial was designed as a working drinking fountain, not only a monument, and a gas lamp was placed on top because it stood in the middle of the Abbott and Spence Streets intersection. It was moved to Anzac Memorial Park by the mid-1970s.
