Columbus, Georgia is at the highest navigable point on the Chattahoochee River and this resulted in the development of many industries that supported the river trade, including the Columbus Iron Works. The Iron Works has been restored to its historic beauty and serves as a convention and trade center. This large fountain is comprised of a three raised rectangular pools each of which overflows downward from one level to another finishing in a large semicircular reflecting pool. The fountain forms one side of a descending walkway that brings visitors from street level down to a plaza from which entrance can be gained to the building.
