CORNING FOUNTAIN
Hartford, CT (Bushnell Park) - This fountain was designed by James Massey Rhind of New York. It was erected in 1899 and presented to Hartford by John Corning, of Corning Glass Works, as a tribute to his father who operated a grist mill on the same site. The fountain is made of marble and stone and stands 30 feet high. I believe the statues are bronze.
In the background is the Connecticut State Capital building.

I love the fact that there is a native American on the front of that fountain. That Corning guy was ahead of his time!
