Pulitzer Fountain is an outdoor fountain designed by Karl Bitter and architect Thomas Hastings, located in Manhattan's Grand Army Plaza in New York. The 22-foot-tall ornamental fountain, dedicated in 1916, was donated by Joseph Pulitzer to compliment William Tecumseh Sherman. The allegorical statue Pomona, depicting the goddess of abundance holding a basket of fruit, sits at the top of the fountain. Bitter died while working on Pomona, so it was completed by his assistant Karl Gruppe and Isidore Konti. [1]
