1934 - Popp's Fountain |
||
|
 Popp's Fountain was designed by Olmsted Brothers in the late 1920s after Rebecca Grant Popp donated $25,000 for a
memorial to her husband John F. Popp. Ionic columns reflect the taste of that era. Partially built by private contractors
it was dedicated in 1934. The WPA added tile walk-ways, landscaping, and the art deco fountainhead designed by Alferez. We
see it here in in 1936 in the new extension north of Harrison Avenue. (NOPL) : :
