  • Fountain came from the Clarence Mackay estate called HARBOR HILL in Rosyln, NY. The fountain was created in Paris by sculptor Henri Gerber in 1910 for Mackay. Discovered in a salvage yard in 1951 after Harbor Hills demolition. Restored and placed in its present location - Country Club Plaza. In 2008 - new book "Harbor Hill: Portrait of a House" will be released.
  • Sculptor was Henri Greber!
