Description and history

Tom Hardy's untitled fountain (1952) is installed at the northeast corner of Eugene's Park Blocks, near the intersection of 8th Avenue and Oak Street. The fountain's bronze sculpture depicts a school of fish, possibly salmon, jumping in and out of the water and measures approximately 69inches x 18feet, 8inches x 5feet.[1] Surrounding the sculpture are five water jets. The fountain's base is made of concrete and embedded stones, and measures approximately 24inches x 40feet x 40feet.[1]

The work was surveyed and deemed "well maintained" by the Smithsonian Institution's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in August 1993. It was administered the Cultural Services Division of the City of Eugene's Library, Recreation and Cultural Services Department at that time.[1]
