West 69th Street and Winthrope Kansas City, MO Map
Description: This fountain was located at the gateway to the Armour Hills subdivision. A newspaper caption describing the fountain noted that it embodied "patriotism and child life as the foundation of the American home." The fountain was destroyed in April 1954 by vandalism. The original sculpture was replaced by another group that represented a similar theme - a child with a goose, reportedly a reproduction of an old Pisan fountain. The original basin of the fountain has been retained along with the first tier of the pedestal.
