Tomahawk Fountain
The Tomahawk Fountain is situated on a triangular traffic island at the intersection of Tomahawk Road and Wenonga Road in Mission Hills. The fountain and its base are made of coquina limestone and pool is made of roughhewn stone. The saucer of the fountain is 40 inches in diameter. This fountain is a replacement fountain. In the 1960s, the original fountain was vandalized beyond repair and this fountain took its place.
Each side of the obelisk is marked with a metal star, except the west face which has the War Mothers’ emblem and the the years 1917 and 1918 inscribed. The south face has a blue star that is dedicated to those who served, the east face has a gold star symbolizing those who died in the war and the north face has a white star for those who were wounded. Each of the starred sides also has a military saber inscribed on the face underneath the star. On each side of the obelisk at the top is an eagle carved into the stone.
