Subject:  Abstract -- Geometric Homage -- Dyar, Conrad Occupation -- Other -- Civil Servant Object Type:  Outdoor Sculpture -- Washington -- Port Angeles Fountain Sculpture Owner:  Administered by City of Port Angeles, City Public Works, 223 East 4th Street, Port Angeles, Washington 98362 Located Corner of East 1st & North Laurel Street, Port Angeles, Washington Remarks:  Conrad Dyar was a long-time city parks official. The original Conrad Dyar Fountain was remodelled and rebuilt in 1982 as part of a city beautification program. The saucer-like disks were salvaged from the original fountain and regrouped. Cost of the fountain was $2,600. The new fountain and columns had to be repainted two months after installation because paint was flaking off steel columns. The columns were sandblasted and acid-etched before paint was re-applied. IAS files contain copies of related articles from Port Angeles Daily News, June 17, 1982 and Aug. 2, 1982.
