Near North [Fountain at Fourth Presbyterian Church]



 
Fountain at the Fourth Presbyterian Church click here..
The architect for the Fourth Presbyterian Church is Ralph Adams Cram.
But the  parish house, cloister, manse, and garth were designed by architect Howard Van Doren Shaw. The parish buildings were built at the same time as the church and dedicated in March 1914. The Tudor-style parish building has a small courtyard and in the center of the courtyard is a beautiful fountain. [ I have read at some places that it's called Children's Fountain. But I'm not sure]
The words inscribed on the fountain are..
For the Earth Shall Be
Filled with the knowledge
Of the Glory of the Lord
As the Water covers the Sea..


Courtyard with fountain..


For the Earth shall be


Filled with the knowledge


Of the Glory of the Lord


As the Water covers the Sea.
