“In 1894, David Wallach (about whom little is known) left a sum for a sculpture and park fountain that would slake the thirst of man and beast. The David Wallach Memorial was installed and dedicated in 1939. Elizabeth Haseltine Hibbard designed the bronze fawn, and her husband Frederick Cleveland Hibbard designed the fountain which has a pool at the base that serves pets and wildlife. The fountain has leaked periodically. The fawn was stolen at one time, but recovered. The brownish granite of the polished base was formed about 2 billion years ago and has wonderful crystalline facets of feldspar, biolite, mica, and hornblende. Also, patches were made at the top and to various gaps and holes on the northwest side in November 2015.”
