Additional Description: The Boulder County Court House's south plaza borders the Pearl Street Mall midway between 13th and 14th Streets. As the plaza's centerpiece, the 1935 Lions Club Fountain visually connects two separate but compatible public realms. On one side is the busy east-west pedestrian thoroughfare lined with late eighteenth and early nineteenth century storefronts. On the other sits the stately, almost severe, Art Deco court house. The fountain bridges these commercial and governmental spaces visually by mimicking the court house's terraced architectural style on a smaller, human scale. Placed amid lush gardens, brick-paved walkways, and irregular lawns, the gleaming white, circular, terra cotta water fountain affords shoppers, county employees, and court house visitors a common area for relaxation or people watching. - History Colorado
