Fun Facts

The memorial is often referred to as the 'Angel of the Waters' due to the prominent angel sculpture that adorns it.

The memorial was designed by the renowned American sculptor Daniel Chester French, who also created the Lincoln Memorial statue in Washington, D.C.

The fountain is designed to operate without any visible plumbing, creating a seamless and natural water flow effect.

The memorial was dedicated in 1924 as a tribute to George Robert White's philanthropic contributions to Boston.

The memorial is situated in the Boston Public Garden, a historic park in the heart of the city.

The angel was inspired by the concept of 'altruism' and symbolizes the spirit of giving and generosity.

The memorial is crafted from granite and bronze, materials chosen for their durability and aesthetic appeal.

The memorial is one of many sculptures and monuments that contribute to the Boston Public Garden's status as a National Historic Landmark.
