New York City experienced a cold spell today.

This is how the pink granite Josephine Shaw Lowell Memorial Fountain at the Bryant Park in Midtown looks this evening – beautifully frozen!

Located at the western gateway to the park, this granite fountain was designed by Charles Adams Platt and was dedicated in 1912.

The Josephine Shaw Lowell Memorial Fountain is New York City’s first public memorial dedicated to a woman. Josephine Lowell (1843-1905) was a social worker and founder of the Charity Organization Society. #
