Voorhies Memorial

Monument in Denver, Colorado, U.S. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Voorhies Memorial is located in the Denver Civic Center, in the U.S. state of Colorado. It was designed by Fisher & Fisher and completed in 1919.[1] It has a triumphal arch and curved supporting wings with roofed columns,[2] as well as murals by Allen Tupper True.[1][3] It also has a pond with a sculpture of a sea lion (sometimes described as a seal) by Robert Garrison, prompting some to refer to the memorial as the "Seal Pond".[4][5] The fountain is also called Sea Lion Fountain[6][7] or Sea Lions Fountain.[8]
