About the Blackburn Memorial Fountain
The fountain is a gift to the citizens of London from the Blackburn estate, given by the late Marjorie Blackburn in memory of her husband Walter J. Blackburn. Her Worship Mayor Anne Marie DeCicco-Best received the gift from Richard Costley-White, grandson of the donor.
Design of the Walter J. Blackburn Fountain began in 2005 and spanned two years, with construction completed in 2008. It is modelled after a jet d’Eau in Geneva, Switzerland, with one large jet to propel water 30 metres, as well as six smaller jets. The result is an impressive addition to London's landscape, which enhances our community’s park system and downtown atmosphere.
