Tyler Davidson Fountain


The center of Downtown Cincinnati, the Tyler Davidson Fountain, was a gift to the people of Cincinnati by Henry Probasco in 1871. The fountain was named in the honor of his brother-in-law and business partner Tyler Davidson.


The fountain was cast in bronze in Germany and skillfully moved and assembled in Cincinnati. It was originally in an esplanade in the middle of Fifth Street and eventually moved to a new public square named Fountain Square. 


Fountain Square and the Tyler Davidson Fountain have gone through several renovations and relocations of the fountain.  Today the fountain is a symbol of Cincinnati.  A gathering point of visitors and residents alike,  She is an enduring fixture that welcomes all to downtown Cincinnati. 


Full-size prints and more photographs of Tyler Davidson Fountain are available as a part of my Cincinnati Collection.
