Westwood Hills Fountains I
William T. & Charlotte Crosby Kemper Memorial Fountain
William T. Fitzsimons Memorial Fountain Kansas City's claim as the City of Fountains is documented not so much in its numbers and long commitment to this art format, but in its use of many styles and forms. The William Fitzsimons Memorial Fountain, dedicated in 1922, is a good example. This is a wall fountain located on the end of a terrace at 12th Street and Paseo. The reality of World War I was brought home to Kansas City with the announcement of the death of a Kansas City doctor, William Fitzimons, the first American officer to lose his life in that war. There are two memorials to William T. Fitzsimons. One is at 12th Street and the Paseo and the other is at 47th Street and the Paseo.
Windsor I Located outside the entrace to the office on Oak street, this fountain welcomes visitors to the complex.
Windsor II Located inside the complex, it can be reached from the walkway on the north side of Brush Creek. It is open to the public. This fountain was created by the developers to honor their agreement with the city to beautify the area. It is maintained by te complex.
