#253 Saving the Haller Fountain
(Airdate: October 29, 2024) Maryanne interviews Sara Ybarra Lopez and Mark Stevenson, the artists who helped save Port Townsend’s iconic Haller Fountain. As unbelievable as it may seem, our iconic fountain was actually originally ordered out of a plumbing catalog. Dozens – perhaps hundreds – of identical statues were sold across the country. Over the decades the fountains all suffered from damages, whether from weather, playful climbing, or even vandalism. Few remain. PT’s statue was literally in pieces when concerned citizens decided to do something about it. The artists were commissioned to recreate it. Recasting the statue in bronze was no simple matter. Sara even wrote a book about it – Galatea: The Heart of Port Townsend. More about their work is at website: carapacearts.net.
