City of Alliance Central Park Fountain - Alliance, Nebraska - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"The Alliance Central Park Fountain was constructed in 1935 by Works Progress Administration and city parks department crews. It is historically significant as an electrically powered, colored-light fountain. The fountain, first activated during Alliance's "Stampede Days" celebration in June 1935, was in continuous use during the summer months until the mid-1970s when it fell into disrepair. In 1989, however, money was raised to restore the fountain. The restoration did not change the historic appearance of the octagonal concrete structure." ~ Nebraska State Historical Society website

It should be noted that the fountain is time controlled and the fountain show is on the half hours.
