Wortham Fountain - Dandelion Fountain - Houston Texas
The Wortham Fountain is located on Allen Parkway at Waugh,in Houston Texas 77019. The fountain is also known as the Dandelion Fountain. Its a great spot to cool down in the hot summers (ok, and most of the rest of the year) in Houston. Houston philanthropist Gus Wortham saw a fountain like it in Australia while on vacation and decided Houston needed one too. There's an urban legend that when he finally tracked down the designers of the original fountain it was a Houston firm. More more details check out the scoop at this Houston architecture site.
