The Parkway Fountain
Taylor, Frank H. (Frank Hamilton), 1846-1927
Sketch of the fountain in Logan Square. Automobiles drive around while a caretaker and child walk along a path. City Hall can be seen in the background.
Of the several public spaces provided in the survey of the original city of Philadelphia, Logan Square, has been subject to the most change. As a feature of the broad plan for linking up the centre of the city with Fairmount Park, it is an impressive and beautiful forecast of an avenue of great splendor. Where these waters now arise and flowers adorn the borders the great fair of the Sanitary Commisson was held in the early Summer of 1863.
