The Horse Fountain
Evansville, Indiana




The Evansville Boneyard - May, 2007

This red granite fountain for horses was presented to the city in 1910 by the National Human Alliance. Originally located in a triangle where NW Fourth Street , Pennsylvania Avenue and First Avenue intersect opposite the old Municipal Market, it was relocated to Main Street when the Walkway was constructed in the late 1960's. With the reconstruction of the Main Street Walkway in 1985-86, the fountain was set in a new pool and the presentation plaque removed from the side of the fountain, opening up the fourth water spout. The plaque has been set in the sidewalk adjacent to the fountain.
