Tyler Davidson Fountain

In 1871, Cincinnati businessman Henry Probasco dedicated the Tyler Davidson Fountain “To the People of Cincinnati” in memory of his business partner and brother-in-law, Tyler Davidson, on October 6, 1871. Located on what is now knows as Fountain Square, it was designed to rival the great fountains of Europe, the bronze and granite fountain glorifies the blessings of water. Streams of water flow from the outstretched hands of the nine-foot-tall Genius of Water, affectionately known as “The Lady.”
