This fountain was removed, and this was put in its place. No information is available regarding the new fountain.
This I like a lot! It is gorgeous. What great stone with fantastic colors. Too bad the fountain wasn’t working but from what I hear such fountains cost a lot to keep running…
I love this too! I have never been to San Francisco and had no idea how much great public art you have.
