Designed by architect Edward H. Bennett with sculptures by Jacques Lambert, the fountain was dedicated in 1927 and gifted to the city by Kate Buckingham in memory of her brother Clarence. It operates from April to October, featuring hourly water shows and evening color-light shows that combine to create magical displays. The fountain's design was inspired by the Bassin de Latone at the Palace of Versailles and it is a celebrated example of Beaux-Arts style architecture.
