About this postcard

A night view of the electric fountain in Reservoir Park, Fort Wayne, Indiana. The fountain's jets are lit in bands of red, yellow, green, and blue and reflected in the still basin. At left stands a low red brick building with a lit colonnade; trees and a hillside rise behind, with a full moon above. Reservoir Park grew around the city's waterworks reservoir, and its illuminated fountain became a local attraction in the early 20th century.
