| Description: The City Hall Fountains consist of two rows of four pool basins. The northernmost sculpture of each row is a bronze mythological sea horse flanked by dolphins. The remaining basins have sculptures in the form of seashells with dolphin heads shooting water. In 1942, the fountains were the subject of controversy. In an effort to economize for the war effort, they were turned off. It saved the city $1.50 per day in electricity. This fountain facility is intricate. |
