Dent's Fountain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dent's Fountain, also known as the City Hall Fountain, was a fountain in front of the first generation of Hong Kong City Hall (1869 -1933) on Queen's Road Central[1] in Victoria, Hong Kong. It was donated to the people of Hong Kong by merchant John Dent of Dent & Co. in 1864[2] but was not installed until the completion of the City Hall in 1869.[3] It was demolished in 1933 due to construction of the third generation Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Building.[4]
