Peter Pan, donated by local businessman Charles E. Munson in memory of his son George Peabody Munson, was completed in 1927 and dedicated on May 18, 1928. The bronze sculpture, designed by Mary "Mae" Cook, depicts Pan as a boy playing a flute.[1][2] It measures approximately 3 x 1 x 1 ft. and rests on Georgia marble base that measures approximately 1 x 2 x 2 ft. Six fish are installed at the basin's foot.[1] The fountain's basin and base measures approximately 6.5 ft. x 75 in. x 75 in.
