Old Postcard: Electric Fountain in Reservoir Park, Fort Wayne Indiana
I thought about not posting about this postcard, but man is it pretty. Also, it is an Indiana postcard, so it is close to Kentucky!
Also, for what it is worth, the scan takes away some of the detail of this perfect little picture.
"This fountain is equipped to throw water twenty-five feet into the air. The color effects are secured by a battery of thirty vari-colored floodlights. The fountain was donated to the city of Fort Wayne by the General Electric Company.
