• Fountain Square is the symbolic center of Cincinnati since 1871.
• It replaced a butcher's market
• It was a gift from Henry Probasco in memory of Tyler Davidson
• Probasco traveled to Munich, and then commissioned a bronze allegorical fountain from Ferdinand von Mueller named The Genius of Water which symbolizes the uses of water, both natural and man-made.
• In 1971 the square was redesigned by: a slightly move and re-orientation to the west, and the scale of the plaza was enlarged to reflect that of new buildings around it. It was used for lunch-breaks, rallies, and other gatherings.
