Dr EA Koch Memorial, Heritage memorial in Cairns City, Australia.
The Dr EA Koch Memorial stands 14 feet tall with a dome supported by four marble columns and a polished granite base in Anzac Memorial Park.
The memorial was built in 1903 to honor Dr Koch, who identified mosquitoes as malaria carriers and developed treatments for tropical fevers in Queensland.
Citizens of Cairns funded this memorial through public subscription to recognize Dr Koch's medical contributions to their community between 1870 and 1901.
The memorial structure includes restored lamp fittings and stands on red concrete-block paving at the intersection of Abbott and Spence Streets.
Two sculptured likenesses of Dr Koch in Carrara marble adorn opposite sides of the memorial's dome, commemorating his medical achievements.
