You know it's cold in New York City when @bryantparknyc’s Josephine Shaw Lowell Memorial Fountain starts growing icicles. You can find it in near 42nd Street & Sixth Avenue. Josephine Shaw Lowell was a 19th century progressive reform leader. The fountain dates to 1913 and is regarded as New York City’s first public memorial dedicated to a woman. It has a heating system that allows it to ice up in a ridiculously photogenic way without doing damage to its pipes or basins.⁠ (See: #bpfrozenfountain) It takes several days to freeze, and that only happens once or twice a year—so bundle up and go visit! Pictured: various short video scenes of a fountain with water flowing and icicles hanging from its basin. 📷: @akuban for @nycgo

One of the interesting monuments to see at Bryant Park is the Josephine Shaw Lowell Fountain facing Sixth Avenue. The fountain designed by American artist and architect Charles A. Platt and installed here in 1913. It commemorates progressive reformer Josephine Shaw Lowell and is believed to be the fist monument in NYC to honour a woman.

Here you see a 13 ft granite basin with a single spout. The basin is supported by a ornamental granite pedestal with corner spouts, spilling into a larger 32-foot lower basin, providing seating space for visitors to the park. It is a simple yet attractive fountain worth spending a few minutes to enjoy during visits to...

There is always seating available on its ledge no matter how crowded the park becomes. Serving as a sentry at the top of the wide steps entering the park, the fountain is a beacon inviting...

One of the crown jewels of the most beautiful park in New York City. It can get busy on nice days or during the winter village pop-up, but on a quiet day, or a misty morning, there is no better place in the city to be. You'll find yourself saying, "Meet me at the...
