oldest surviving monument in San Francisco,
Lotta's fountain was donated by singer/dancer
Lotta Crabtree in 1875. Lotta began her career
as a young girl performing for miners in gold
country and went on to become one of America's
most popular stage performers. After the earthquake
in 1906, the fountain, which was one of the
few remaining structures on Market Street,
became a central meeting place for San Franciscans. |
