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.
