Originally located on an estate in Long Island, New York, the fountain was sculpted in 1910 by Henri-L\u00e9on Gr\u00e9ber.<\/p><p>The fountain features four heroic horsemen, symbolizing four great rivers of the world: Mississippi, Volga, Seine, Rhine<\/p><p>Additionally, four smaller figures of children riding fish\u2014often mistaken for dolphins\u2014adorn the fountain. When one of these original figures was lost before the fountain\u2019s relocation, a replica was commissioned.<\/p><p>Funding for the fountain\u2019s installation came from the Nichols family, the City of Kansas City, private contributions, and even school children\u2019s donations. Restored in 2014 by the Miller Nichols Charitable Foundation, the fountain regained its original lost dolphin, while the replica was placed nearby with an informational plaque.<\/p><p>Today, the fountain stands near the eastern entrance of the Country Club Plaza, remaining one of Kansas City\u2019s most-photographed landmarks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-82505ef e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"82505ef\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8a9e907 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8a9e907\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Art in the Park<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-70d496f e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"70d496f\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aa703ae e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"aa703ae\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-28aadb2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"28aadb2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The bronze sculpture, Le Grand Noeud by artist Kim Hamisky, was donated to honor Miller Nichols (1911-2000), local real estate developer, adviser and philanthropist by his daughters Kay Callison, Nance Lopez, Ann Nichols and Lynn Nichols.
