i always thought the story about the sculpture was cute (from hydepark.org):
"A special treasure greets one upon emerging from the underpass, the David Wallach Memorial Fountain. In 1894, David Wallach (about whom little is known) left a sum for a sculpture and fountain in a park that would slake the thirst of man and beast. The David Wallach Memorial was installed and dedicated in 1939. Elizabeth Haseltine Hibbard designed the bronze fawn, and her husband Frederick Cleveland Hibbard designed the fountain which has a pool at the base that serves pets and wildlife. Of course, the fountain has leaked periodically. The fawn was stolen at one time, but recovered. The polished brownish granite base is about 2 billion years old, with wonderful crystaline facets of feldspar, biolite, mica, and hornblende."
