Fairbanks Park Fountain - Terre Haute, IN - Converted Fountains on Waymarking.com

Per link , "As you approach the Wabash River on Dresser Drive you will encounter a large abstract archway with four legs covering a concrete flower garden base, in a sunken garden. Originally, the sunken garden area was a magnificent oval shaped swimming pool that opened on August 22, 1924. It was 198 feet long and 128 feet wide and was surrounded by a seven foot sandy beach. The present structure was originally a flowing fountain designed by a Indiana State University graphic design student, Thomas Dubois. His design was selected from 42 entries in a countywide competition sponsored by the city of Terre Haute and Anaconda Aluminum. The fountain was constructed in 1983. It now serves as a flower garden."
