Rosenberg Fountain at Central Park - Galveston, TX - Converted Fountains on Waymarking.com

In 1898, the estate of Swiss-born Galveston banker and philanthropist Henry Rosenberg commissioned public fountains to supply water for thirsty people, horses, dogs, and cats. Rosenberg's will specified "not less than ten drinking fountains for man and beast," but the bequest proved large enough to fund seventeen. Each bore a different, often classical, design by J. Massey Rhind and was crafted of light gray granite. Seven fountains remain of the original seventeen.

This fountain is one of the restored fountains originally contributed to the "Citizens of Galveston" by Henry Rosenberg.
