What makes it fun
The J.C. Nichols Company purchased two 300-year-old marble mermaids from Italy and installed the Mermaid Fountain on the Plaza in 1930. The mermaids stand at the fountain's edge, blowing into a conch shell while water flows from the shell into the center of the pool. The circular water feature and bronze figure were added after the pool was remodeled into its current trefoil shape in 1968, replacing the previous rectangular pool.
