Erskine Memorial Fountain, Memorial fountain at Grant Park, Atlanta, United States
The bronze fountain features maritime elements including dolphins and seahorses, accompanied by a Georgia marble bench with zodiac signs engravings.
The fountain, designed by J. Massey Rhind, was presented to Atlanta in 1896 and moved to Grant Park from its original Peachtree Street location in 1912.
The memorial honors Judge John Erskine, who served as a U.S. district court judge for Georgia from 1865 to 1883, contributing to post-Civil War reconciliation.
Current restoration efforts by the Erskine Fountain Fund and Grant Park Conservancy aim to repair and preserve this historical monument for future generations.
Standing as Atlanta's first public fountain, the structure cost $15,000 to construct and originally featured bronze drinking cups attached with chains for public use.
