and their children 1958
At the time of the unveiling, Meštrović was teaching at Notre Dame in Indiana. Laurent, considered one of America’s foremost sculptors, was at the time a sculptor in residence at the American Academy in Rome, Italy.
Area lighting for the fountain was also a gift from a Cathedral member, according to a plaque on the Beretania St. side of the fountain curb which reads: |
Olive Tree and Fountain Lighting
Given by Col. Jonike E. Heny, U. S. A. Ret.
To the Glory of God
And in Loving Memory of
John Kendall Henry
Esther Ellis Henry
Nelda Henry Chapman
In 2020, the fountain was extensively re-surfaced and given a tile ring around the waterline. The plumbing was repaired, along with a number of the spouting fish. The lighting of the fountain and central statue is currently under study, and we hope to install new lighting in 2021.
