Josephine Shaw Lowell Memorial Fountain

About this Tour Stop...

At the western gateway to the park is the pink granite Josephine Shaw Lowell Memorial Fountain, dedicated in 1912. This was the city’s first public memorial dedicated to a woman. Lowell (1843-1905) was a social worker and founder of the Charity Organization Society. Charles Adams Platt designed the fountain. Source: http://www.bryantpark.org/things-to-do/monuments.html
