Tyler Davidson Fountain, Bronze fountain in Downtown Cincinnati, United States
The 43-foot fountain features a central female figure, the Genius of Water, pouring rain from her fingers above four bronze panels depicting water uses.
Cincinnati merchant Henry Probasco commissioned the fountain from German sculptor Ferdinand von Miller and dedicated it on October 6, 1871.
The fountain stands as the centerpiece of Fountain Square, functioning as the primary gathering space for downtown Cincinnati residents and visitors.
Four drinking fountains with fresh water remain operational around the base when temperatures stay above freezing, typically from spring through late autumn.
The bronze structure contains metal from melted Danish cannons, purchased by the Royal Bavarian Bronze Foundry after the Schleswig-Holstein war.
