Swann Memorial Fountain (Alexander Stirling Calder)
By Seeker
The Swann Memorial Fountain, created by Alexander Stirling Calder and unveiled in 1924, sits in Logan Circle on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The fountain features three heroic Native American figures symbolizing the region's major waterways and is set within a large circular basin used as a city landmark and gathering spot. It was commissioned as a memorial to Dr. Wilson Cary Swann and remains a notable example of early 20th-century civic sculpture in Philadelphia.
