Work to restore a fountain in Santa Rosa’s Courthouse Square will likely begin in the spring. The Press Democrat reports that the fountain, designed by the late San Francisco sculptor Ruth Asawa, made its debut in Old Courthouse Square in 1987. It was taken apart in 2016 and put into storage when work began to re-unify the Square. Since then, it was discovered that the concrete panels had deteriorated prompting the city to cast them in bronze instead. This is being done using $300,000 dollars of the PG&E settlement funds. It’ll take about 4 to 5 months to complete the fountain once work begins. However, it’s unknown how long the panels featuring Sonoma County’s rich history and culture will take to be completed.
