Dr. William D. Young Memorial
This Italian Renaissance
style drinking fountain was erected in 1920 to the memory of Dr. William
D. Young (1874-1918) by the members of the Beaches Community. It
commemorates his devotion to public service and his dedication to the welfare
of the children of the neighbourhood. The fountain was designed by
Maurice D. Klein and originally supported a statue of a standing child
by Florence Wyle, now replaced by one created by Frances Gage. The
medallions of Dr. Young were designed by Ivor Lewis.
