Haller Fountain Park

General Location:

Located off Taylor St., between Jefferson St. and Washington St.

General Description:

The fountain and steps provide a welcoming route for foot traffic connection between Port Townsend’s uptown and downtown historic districts. The fountain is surrounded by low concrete benches that encourage relaxation and people-watching. Midway up the stairs is a convenient landing for resting. The fountain is a focal point for fall and winter festivities and decorations.

History:

In 1993, a bronze replica of the original 1903 Galatea Fountain donated by Theodore N. Haller was created and currently stands at the foot of the steps. Two lots to the west of the fountain were protected by the Westerman conservation easement from the Jefferson Land Trust to prevent tree removal or building near the park. In 2010, a memorial in honor of Steve Corra (longtime City Parks foreman) was added at the landing.

Total Acreage:

0.37 acres
