About this postcard

The picture shows the Depew Memorial Fountain in University Park, Indianapolis, with the tall Chamber of Commerce Building rising behind it among trees. The fountain, dedicated in 1919, was designed by Alexander Stirling Calder and is a bronze sculptural group set in a circular basin. The Chamber of Commerce Building was a prominent downtown office tower; the linen-textured card dates from the mid-20th century.
