The Frankish Fountain was commissioned in 1886 as a symbol of prosperity. The fountain was originally located in the Euclid Avenue median near Holt Boulevard. The Frankish Fountain was the second fountain placed on Euclid Avenue. In 1952, the Frankish Fountain was threatened by demolition due to decades of disrepair. The community rallied for its preservation and restoration. The Frankish Fountain was then relocated to the front of Old City Hall in 1983 when the Euclid Avenue rail underpass was constructed.
