The bricks circle the fountain and were placed to raise funds for the 1910 fountain's restoration. The following information about the brick program is from a November 12, 2003, JAX Daily Record online article (

"Total expenses for the fountain’s restoration are estimated at $50,000-$70,000. The cost for the original fountain, which was erected in 1910, was $782. To raise funds for the restoration project, the Woman’s Club intends to sell bricks, which can hold up to three lines of text, for $50 apiece. The chamfered or curved-edge bricks will lie flat, encircling the fountain and extending outward as far as the number of bricks sold. Farley hopes to sell 2,000 bricks."
