The Swann Memorial Fountain, designed by Alexander Stirling Calder and dedicated in 1924, sits at Logan Circle on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway and is one of Philadelphia's major early 20th-century public artworks. The fountain features three large sculpted figures representing the city’s principal waterways and is a prominent landmark on the Parkway. It was commissioned as a memorial to Dr. Wilson Cary Swann and remains a central decorative element of Logan Circle.
