Brewer Fountain, Bronze fountain in Boston Common, Massachusetts, United States
The Brewer Fountain stands 22 feet tall, featuring bronze figures of Neptune, Amphitrite, Acis, and Galatea near Park Street Station.
Gardner Brewer presented this 15,000-pound bronze fountain to Boston in 1868, after its original design was displayed at the 1855 Paris World Fair.
The fountain area hosts regular live piano performances, food vendors, and community gatherings from spring through fall in the Boston Common.
Visitors can find seating arrangements with tables, chairs, and umbrellas surrounding the fountain, making it a central meeting point.
This French-crafted fountain is one of sixteen replicas worldwide, with sister fountains located in Liverpool, Quebec City, Buenos Aires, and Salvador de Bahia.
