About This Piece

In 1913, the "Dusseldorf Fountain," as it was then called, was installed near the East 18th Avenue entrance of City Park. This piece was originally all marble, including the three frogs, but later the frogs were recreated in bronze. In 1918, the Dusseldorf Fountain was moved to its present location, and its name was changed to "Children's Fountain" in 1919. In 1948, Gladis Coldwell-Fisher, a Denver sculptor, restored the fountain with casts taken from her own children. The moat was also built at this time.
