Remarks:
The fountain was a gift in memory of Clara Baur (1835-1912), founder and head of the old
Cincinnati
Conservatory of Music, dedicated to her by its students, alumni and faculty. Baur founded the school in 1867, and her leadership and enterprise made it one of the foremost music schools in the United States. The Conservatory later became associated with the University of
Cincinnati
. The fountain stood for many years on the southwest corner of Oak Street and Burnet Avenue, on the grounds of the old Conservatory. It was later relocated to the front of the new
Cincinnati
Conservatory of Music building, Mary M. Emory Hall.
