Fountain on N 1/2 between 20th & 21st Streets
Gift of Henry Rosenberg
2005 Ave N,, Galveston, TX (Directions)
One of the Gifts of Henry Rosenberg revealed in his will after his death in 1893. Of the original seventeen Rosenberg fountains, only nine still exist. Many of these have been moved to their present sites from other locations on the island. Each fountain bears a unique design.
This Rosenberg fountain “MDCCCXCVIII” (1898) now stands in the gated San Jacinto Community Garden managed by the San Jacinto Neighborhood Association. The area includes vine shaded picnic tables, a garden and a grassy lawn. It is open to the public every 3rd Saturday, 9am – 12pm.
It is one of nine remaining fountains of the original seventeen that Henry Rosenberg funded in his last will and testament.
