Galatea_01

Port Townsend, WA

Name: Haller Statue and Fountain
Year Built: Presented to Port Townsend in 1906
Location: Washington and Taylor Streets
Area: Downtown Port Townsend

The Haller Statue and Fountain, located at the base of the
Taylor Street stairs, was ordered from a catalog in 1905.
"Galatea" was recast by Riverdog Fine Arts Foundry in 1994
thanks to the fundraising efforts of the Kiwanis Club after
one arm had been broken off.

Originally cast by the J. L. Mott Foundry in New York,
which made plumbing fixtures, the statue dates from 1875-1919.
The artist is unknown.
