Umbrella Girl, or The Umbrella Girl Fountain, is a 1996 fountain and sculpture in Schiller Park's Grace Highfield Memorial Garden, in Columbus, Ohio's German Village neighborhood, in the United States.[1] The copper fountain and sandstone pool were designed by Joan Wobst and Phil Kientz, respectively.[2]
The current fountain replaced one depicting Hebe, the goddess of youth, installed as a drinking fountain in 1872. This fountain was relocated to a pond during the 1920s, and an umbrella was added. The statue disappeared during the 1950s.[3] Local residents wanted to restore the original fountain and sculpture, resulting in the installation of the current structure in 1996.[2] [4] The statue is mysteriously draped in a red cloak each holiday season.[5]
