| Description: The busy intersection of this boulevard and parkway has become a popular landmark in Kansas City. The fountain hosts a 17th century Venetian sculpture purchased by J.C. Nichols in the early 1920's. The top figure of child & dolphin has been replaced by the Park Department.
The Meyer Circle Fountain, when viewed at the right direction by auto traffic, seems to have a comma near it. The comma comes from the front lawn of the home on West 64th Street. |
