Buckingham fountain is one of Chicago’s most popular attractions.
Buckingham fountain, is one of the largest in the world, is located at Columbus Drive 301 East and Congress Parkway 500 South in Grant Park Chicago IL.
In 1927 Kate Buckingham had dedicated the structure to the people of Chicago in memory of her late brother, Clarence. At that time, she also had established a $300,000 trust fund to ensure that the Chicago taxpayers would never have to cover all of the repair and upkeep costs associated with the fountain.
In 1994 the funds for the $2.8 million dollar restoration that was done came from the Buckingham Fountain Endowment Fund, which the Art Institute of Chicago has administered.
On May 26, 1927 Buckingham fountain had opened for the first time.
Architect Edward H. Bennett designed the fountain to represent Lake Michigan with four sea horses, built by Marcel Loyau, to symbolize the four states that line the shores the lake Michigan: Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana and Michigan. Bennett attributed the design specifically to the influence of the Latona Basin in Louis XIV’s gardens at Versailles.
The fountain times run from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. every day.
The Fountain operates from mid April to mid October, depending on Chicago’s weather.
20 minutes every hour on the hour the fountain produces a major water display, and the center jet shoots 150 feet up into the Chicago’s sky.
20 minutes beginning at dusk, every hour on the hour the fountain’s major water display is accompanied by a major light and music display. At 10:00 p.m is the final display of the evening.
Fountains are known for their holistic value. The passage of water has been a staple of harmony in various cultures throughout human history. Why is running water so important to us that we feel at peace by a calming brook? The answer is quite simple. Water is such a large part of our health and comfort that when we are near a clean source of water, and that means running water in nature as still water gets murky and unpalatable, we feel safe and at peace with the natural world.
That drive to be near running water is a genetic instinct that is bred from our primitive understanding of the world. Now we can use this understanding and bring it close to home in a way that will benefit our lives on a daily basis. Indoor fountains bring this feeling of oneness into our lives and into our homes.
